Officers responded to calls at 9:50 a.m. Thursday about the shooting in the parking lot of the Target on Suburban Avenue just south of Interstate 94. Someone drove Taylor to fire station No. 24 at Suburban and White Bear avenues, where firefighters gave him emergency medical aid in the station’s driveway, but he was pronounced dead.

Police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting and continue to ask anyone with information to call them at 651-266-5650.

Taylor loved being a father, his fiancée said Friday. She said he “was doing everything right to get accepted into college,” and she remembered his big heart and smile.

The Target location closed Thursday after the shooting and reopened Friday with additional security.
