Taylor Keith Keele, 21, of Center, Texas, died on August 30, 2014, at Memorial Medical Hospital in San Augustine after being shot in the chest. He was remembered by family and friends for his vibrant personality and for competing in powerlifting and track at Timpson High School.

The investigation named Bret Wayne Anderson as the person who fired the fatal shot. A grand jury indicted Anderson on March 25, 2015, for criminally negligent homicide. At a plea hearing on January 19, 2017, Anderson pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary of a building, and deadly conduct and was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, with the terms to run concurrently. Taylor’s mother, Tirrie McDonald, voiced grief and dissatisfaction with the handling of the case at the plea hearing.

Questions remain for those who knew Taylor or have information about the events of August 30, 2014.
