A star
Connecticut high school football player trying to break it off with his older
lover stabbed the man to death during a tussle outside the teen’s home.
Tarence Mitchell (pictured), 18,
stabbed Ronald Taylor Jr., 27, five times with a steak knife – including at
least once in the back – during an argument in Bloomfield on the night of
November 21, 2013, Thursday.
The murderer met the deceased about
two years ago through his stepmother, and frequently visited his house, where
Taylor supplied the teen with alcohol and marijuana. While Mitchell said he was
interested in being friends, Taylor wanted a different kind of relationship.
Mitchell told the police that he was
trying to distance himself from Taylor, and Taylor once posted a photo of
Mitchell on Facebook with the caption “Bloomfield gay football player.”
Though the photo was taken down, Mitchell told authorities that Taylor had
threatened to repost it, if Mitchell tried to disassociate himself again.
On the fateful Thursday, Taylor
texted Mitchell, allegedly telling the teen that he was coming over and it
“wasn’t going to end well.”
The teen felt threatened and armed
himself with a knife. He allegedly stabbed Taylor after the 27-year-old punched
him in the face. Police say Taylor tried to run away, but Mitchell chased him
down and delivered the fatal stabbings. After police responded, Taylor was
rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Mitchell is being had on a $1
million bond. If the relationship started two years ago when the teen was a
minor that means he was being molested regardless if he was consenting or not.
Where were the parents while this
inappropriate relationship was going on?
