Sean Taylor Murder Suspects – Pictures and video of the four murder suspects in death of Sean Taylor where two teens who did yard work for Taylor killed him during a burglary gone wrong.
Three of the four men charged in the death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor were denied bond early Saturday in Lee County Circuit Court.
Venjah Hunte, 20, Eric Rivera, 17, and Charles Wardlow, 18, were charged with felony murder, home invasion and armed robbery. A fourth man, Jason Scott Mitchell, 19, faces the same counts and will make his first court appearance Sunday morning.
Jason Mitchell mowed Sean Taylor’s lawn and was also paid to do other yard work for him. Charles Wardlow attended a birthday party at Taylor’s house recently for Taylor’s sister, Tasha Johnson, who dates Wardlow’s cousin.
Sean Taylor Murder Suspects Arrested
Venjah Hunte mugshot:
Eric Rivera mugshot:
Charles Wardlow mugshot:
Jason Scott Mitchell mugshot:
Under Florida law, anyone who commits a violent felony in which a death occurs can face a murder charge.
Police report that multiple suspect’s have confessed and they are still trying to determine who actually shot and killed Sean Taylor.
It is believed that Jason Scottt Mitchell stayed outside and drove the getaway car. He is expected to testify against the other three men charged with Sean Taylor’s murder.
The attorney for Eric Rivera told reporters that the arrest warrant for his client stated that Charles Wardlow had confessed and implicated 17-year old Eric Rivera as the shooter.
Sean Taylor murder suspect Eric Rivera brought to jail:
Miami-Dade police say the four men broke into Taylor’s Palmetto Bay home, intent on stealing, not killing.
At least one of them, Mitchell, had attended a birthday party at the home for Taylor’s sister in recent months. Also, Wardlow is a cousin of the man dating Taylor’s sister, who had been staying at the home off-and-on.
Miami-Dade homicide detectives believe the men did not know Taylor was home. He would have played in Tampa earlier in the day had he not injured his knee.
The former University of Miami star, wielding a machete, surprised the burglars as his wife and daughter hid under the covers.
”One of the participants had a firearm. Sean Taylor was shot by one of the participants during the commission of the armed burglary,” according to an arrest report by Miami-Dade Detective Juan Segovia.
And that’s the latest news on the Sean Taylor murder suspects.

Erica Rivera’s MySpace page is wallpapered with images of stacks of bills, and he’s seen photographed lying in a bed with US$100 bills strewn atop him and fanning a wad of money in front of his face.
He lists “countin money” among his interests and puts his income at $60,000 to $75,000. He goes by the MySpace name “$MR.FLORIDA$”.
According to the page, Rivera last logged in sometime Friday. He described his mood with an obscene word for angry.

If these fools did it i hope they all get charged with murder as florida law allows. They unnessicarily took the life of a man who lived the life as a gangster and was trying to change his ways thanks to the 18 month old inspiration of his daughter. Two of these people he INVITED INTO HIS HOME. They commited a henious crime and they deserve the maximum penalty that the law allows.
December 2nd, 2007 at 12:50 pm
I feel greatly upset about any human being losing his/her life because some one else wanted something for nothing. Please tell the true story about the fact, that is a typical stereotype of 4 black gentlemen killing another black person for nothing( afraid to get off welfare and selling drugs and actually work for a living)! Keep those government handouts coming the lazy and worthless.
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:33 pm
Please watch this clip…about 2/3 of the way through Mark Davis, a Dallas radio show host starts talking about the death of Sean Taylor. He calls Taylor a “ganster thug” and says that his death might as well have been a suicide because of the life he lead.
Mark Davis and Fox4 (the Dallas TV station that aired this segment) need to know that this kind of speech is unacceptable!!!!!
These comments are WORSE than those of Don Imus!!!!!
Mark Davis needs to be fired!!!!!!!!!!!
God bless Sean Taylors family and teammates.

Here is Mark Davis email, I think we need to bombard this a-hole. I am trying to submit a complaint to the dallas Fox4 News station but there website sucks

This is just a sad story- right when Sean was turning his life around! It is too bad that Sean Taylor did not keep a real weapon at his bedside table like a short barrel pistol grip pump action shotgun- this is one of the best weapons for home protection! What was he doing with a machette? He could have repeated what Joe Horn in Pasadena Texas did a few weeks ago and blew away those robbers! Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight! Too bad that Sean did not have a neighbor like Joe…
All I can say if a robber carries a gun then it has to be premediated murder- The shooter should get the death penality- the others at least life in prison with no possibility of parole!
Maybe all the laws should be changed in every state so that homeowners can protect there property or neighbors property with the threat of deadly force…Maybe when enough robbers are blown away by homeowners then robbery will stop…
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:07 pm
The whole Sean Taylor thing is so disturbing to me. Especially after finding out that the suspects are so young.
Another writer over at Highbrid Nation did a nice peice on how some in the media want to blame hip hop for Taylor’s death. Which is crazy if you ask me.
It’d be nice if we can stop the finger pointing and come up with some real solutions to help our lost youth.
December 4th, 2007 at 2:01 am
this is why i fucking stone cold hate niggers. you all are a bunch of fucking animals who cant make money legitimately. it is sad to have these fucking niggers as examples. u all should be hung.
December 4th, 2007 at 11:25 am
to “ihatethem”, there are just as many whites who are worse than blacks. you are just jealous of the few who make it on their talents. It is a shame that most of the crime in our country is black on black. I feel much safer with my “colored cousins” than i do with my own race.
December 4th, 2007 at 11:26 am
and also ihate them,
do you watch sports? have a favorite team? if you do then you should retract that statement. you can’t have a favorite team and be a racist.
December 4th, 2007 at 2:50 pm
If they went into his house with no intent to kill him or anyone else then why were they carrying a gun?!?! Not all people that break into houses carry guns so why did they choose to do so this time? Especially if they were so sure no one was there??!! There is something still not sitting well with me about this! What about the burgulary from the week before? Has anyone come out and said they were also involved with that one? After there was a knife left on a bed in the house a week prior it is very hard to believe that no one was after him personally.
December 4th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
I apologize for “i hate them” – a classic moron…
December 5th, 2007 at 9:43 am
I’m suprised Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson aren’t out defending these losers.Oh,but they must have had troubled backgrounds.Many people do,but still don’t resort to stuff like this.When will it stop?Sorry to Sean’s family and friends.
December 5th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
in regards to Nicki’s comment, they prolly had a gun with them cause they carry it routinely
December 5th, 2007 at 2:24 pm
The comment on refering to blacks as niggers is wrong! Shame on your monkey mouth ass for saying some shit like that. You damn jackass. The whole NFL is basically black you fuck head! You must be a coward!
December 5th, 2007 at 2:34 pm
if u hate niggers so much shit head, why are all your white women flocking at their dicks. Hum? Because your cock is too small to satisfy them and also a brother plays better after a dick suck before the game. ( your white Nancy is the one sucking) Dumb shit! Go get a penis job and some sense of value. Your two faced because u are an undercover racist fuck head!
December 5th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Is that the best reply you can think of in response to ihatethem, Sasha?
December 6th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Is it just me or did Pretty Ricky shoot Sean Taylor?
December 6th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
to ihatethem, you must be a dumb nigger, if you had any kind of sense u would know nigger means ignorant, besides what does race have 2 do with an innocent man having his life taken away from him white people do the same stupid shit as any other race if whites did this crime would u praise them or call them stupid honkees i want to apoligise to all black people and sean taylors family not all white people are like this dumb fucking idiot,its people like u that keep racism from ending maybe u should be hung for your stupid ass comment
December 7th, 2007 at 3:46 am
As we have all learned, Sean Taylor, starter for the Washington Redskins, died Tuesday after he was shot in what at first glance appears to be a home invasion. What a tragedy. This man was so young. He had made mistakes, but seemed to be turning his life around. Rest In Peace, Sean.

December 7th, 2007 at 8:49 am
Actually…..race does have something to do with it slim. I know you mean well, but the fact that black on black crime kills more of its own race, than any other in this country. This was no random break-in/robbery; they knew where they were going and what they were going to do. Sean was a target of thugs taking advantage of his kindness and wealth, like they do the welfare system. You whites have your problems, but we blacks need to stop blaming others for our faults, and bite this chit in the butt right now.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:11 am
As for you (I hate them)…..I can feel your pain dude. I as a black man almost feel at times, as if I’m not so proud to be who I am as I thought. If you feel we act like animals, then why should we all be hanged? As far as I know, some if not most of the animals here in America is treated pretty darn well. So before you hang us all, at least give the one’s like me who’s making a pretty good living be the pet poodle or something. As you can see, your words didn’t affect me at all. But the actions of the young men who did this vicious crime do.
December 8th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Sasha Jones you are an idiot. I HATE THEM you are a bigger idiot. Look how quickly you both are to be racist? Sean Taylor died from some punks. Eric Rivera will probably get it easy and get life imprisonment. He should fry. Hes been busted with drugs and meth. The kid is a waste of life. Look how he presents himself with his myspace. Let that kid die. I hope he burns in hell. The others are going to get very long terms as well. As for the white men comment… I bet youve never dated a white guy huh? They treat you a lot better and dont try and play games to cheat like “PROATHLETES”. I hate them I bet you dont know a black person. They can be very fun friends. BOTH OF YOU ARE STEREOTYPING AND FOLLOWING INTO EACHOTHER VICIOUS CYCLES OF RACISM but then again maybe you both do not know better. Rather than point out people by races… TRY BY INDIVIDUALS Itll make your life a lot more meaningful.

December 8th, 2007 at 12:12 pm
One quick question… WHY IS ERIC RIVERA’s dad so concerned with him now?? WHERE WAS HE WHEN THE KID WAS GROWING UP? Youd think after a cocaine and meth possesion he would have beaten the kid straight. Or at least made sure the kid didnt go out during nights…
ONE WOULD THINK… I guess when your son committs murder its time for better parenting huh?

So, let me see if I got this right.
Sean hired Jason Mitchell to do yard work at his place and he repaid the favor by driving three other thugs to his crib to rip him off.
Eric Rivera wants to be a big shot and kills Sean Taylor.
Is that how it went down?
December 25th, 2007 at 4:06 pm

January 5th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
If these guys (at least two of them) knew Sean Taylor and considered him a friend, why in hell would they even think about ripping him off??? Friends do not steal from friends. They should have had his back in any case! Is this a black thing that friends will even rob friends and shoot them if they get in the way?
February 20th, 2008 at 6:57 pm

Mark Davis needs to punch himself in the face till it smashes through the other end, Sean was changing his life around and loved his family. GOD has brought Sean Taylor great success in a very short life and now has carried him back up to him and as it is written..”Judgement will come in great wrath to the wicked” Those who have taken his life will be judged and punished in life and death.
