detained at least three people in the Fort Myers area for
questioning in the death of Washington Redskins football star Sean
Taylor.
A law enforcement official in Lee County confirmed the men from
the Fort Myers area are in custody, but declined to be named
because the investigation is being handled by Miami-Dade County
police.
Miami-Dade police Detective Carlos Maura says he's not aware of
anyone in custody.
The Miami Herald is reporting that investigators believe three
suspects learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly
set up the burglary by bragging about his wealth. The suspects
include two teenagers and a man in his 20s.
Richard Sharpstein, a former Taylor lawyer and family friend,
says police are pursuing "extremely good leads" and that it
appears this wasn't a random act -- "that Sean's house was
targeted."
Taylor was shot at his home in the Miami area early Monday
during what police called a random burglary. He died a day later
from his injuries.
