Robert Taylor, a 34-year-old male, died on the night of October 9, 2025, after a confrontation that began on the roadway and ended in the parking lot of Frisco High School at 6401 Parkwood Boulevard. Frisco police were dispatched at approximately 8:31 p.m. and found Taylor on the asphalt with multiple gunshot wounds; officers and medics attempted life-saving measures before he was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities later identified him as a Plano resident, and emphasized the shooting did not involve students or pose an ongoing threat to the campus.
According to an arrest affidavit and police statements reported by local outlets, the encounter began when the other driver believed Taylor was following too closely. The suspect told 911 dispatchers he had been tailgated, “brake-checked” the vehicle behind him, and then pulled into the school lot, where the dispute escalated before shots were fired. Details in the warrant describe the sequence beginning on the highway, the move off the roadway into the parking area, and officers’ arrival to find Taylor face down with multiple wounds.
Police detained a Celina man at the scene, identified as 45-year-old Jason Bartik, and later charged him with murder. He was booked on a murder count; reporting indicates he was held on a $750,000 bond as the investigation continued. Officials reiterated that anyone with additional information should contact Frisco police.
In the days that followed, tributes and funeral notices confirmed Taylor’s death in Frisco on October 9 and his age, while local coverage continued to track the case through police updates. The matter remains a criminal case against Bartik, with no other suspects publicly identified by authorities at this time.
