Providence police seek homicide suspect Leon Taylor
Leon Taylor, 31, is wanted by the Providence police for the stabbing death of David Simmons |
Leon Taylor, 32, is wanted in the murder of David Simmons, 32, who was found dying on Dartmouth Avenue. Police said they may have been fighting over a woman related to Taylor. Simmons, who is originally from Flushing, N.Y., had moved in with someone on Dartmouth Avenue recently from Brockton, Mass.
Taylor may be driving a green or blue Nissan Maxima with temporary Rhode Island plates, according to the police.
Earlier Wednesday, the police said Taylor could be in the company of a woman. Hours after releasing Taylor's mugshot and requesting the public's help in finding him, the police announced that they were no longer looking for the woman, who is believed to be Taylor's girlfriend. The police said Wednesday afternoon that they learned that she wasn't with Taylor and was not a person of interest.
"We are looking for him in the state and possibly out of state," said Maj. David Lapatin.
Police ask anyone with information about the homicide to contact detective Daniel O’Connell at (401) 641-1481 or the detective bureau at (401) 243-6406.
