On July 6, 2026, 6-year-old Caylee Taylor was fatally shot in her home on Mulligan Drive in Montgomery, Alabama. Officers responded at about 2:20 a.m. after shots were fired into the residence while Caylee slept. She was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead. Reports describe the incident as a drive-by shooting and say the weapon used was an AR-15 style rifle.

Caylee attended Morning View Elementary School. Within a day, police identified and arrested 18-year-old Malik Millender, who was charged with three counts of capital murder and held without bond at the Montgomery Detention Facility. Local leaders, including Police Chief Jim Graboys and Mayor Steven Reed, publicly condemned the shooting; Mayor Reed urged the harshest possible penalties and mentioned federal charges if links to drug or gang activity were found. The motive has not been released and the investigation is ongoing.
