Joe Glen Taylor was 32 when he was found fatally shot on March 7, 2020, in Marion County, Mississippi. He had been walking along Shiloh Firetower Road toward a relative’s house and was discovered unresponsive near Turnage Chapel Road. Law enforcement classified the death as a homicide and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation.

No arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced and the case went cold. Taylor’s family remembers him as a West Marion High School graduate and a father of two daughters. His daughter Emiley has helped organize events such as a Justice for Joe Walk to keep the case in the public eye. The investigation has since been turned over to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation Cold Case Unit.

If anyone who lived in the Foxworth area that March evening has information about Joe’s last known movements or saw anything unusual on Shiloh Firetower Road or Turnage Chapel Road, please come forward.
