Another Beltway sniper victim

Jerry Taylor: Targeted on a Tucson golf range
Lee Malvo, one of the convicted Beltway-area snipers, has confessed to another murder:
Convicted Washington-area sniper Lee Boyd Malvo confessed to police that he and cohort John Allen Muhammad were responsible for the 2002 killing of a 60-year-old man on a Tucson golf course, Tucson authorities said Friday.
“He admitted to the killing of Jerry Taylor,” said Capt. Bill Richards, commander of the Tucson Police Department’s violent crimes division.
Richards said Malvo spoke to police in Maryland for two hours Thursday after he received a grant of immunity of prosecution. He said the shooting took place while he and Muhammad were in the area visiting Muhammad’s older sister, Richards said.
Tucson police had long sought to speak with Malvo about the March 19, 2002, death of Taylor, 60, who died from a single gunshot fired from long range as he practiced chip shots at the Tucson course. The case had never been conclusively tied to Muhammad and Malvo.
Richards and Detective Benjamin Jimenez flew to Montgomery County, Maryland, this week to discuss the shooting. Jimenez said Malvo was contrite and said he was sorry for Taylor’s family.
“He welled up a few times in tears during the interview,” Jimenez said.
Jimenez said Malvo, 21, shot Taylor as he lay in the bushes and Taylor was retrieving a golf balls. According to Malvo, the two decided to shoot someone on the golf course after conducting surveillance in the desert, Jimenez said.
The Arizona Daily Star has more.
That brings the death toll of the jihadi snipers to 11.
Here’s a reminder of how illegal alien Lee Malvo was let loose against the recommendation of Border Patrol agents in Washington state.
