End of Watch—August 29, 2012 & 1899: Police Officers Forrest "Dino" Taylor and Alonzo Bishop
On August 29, 2012, Police Officer Dino Taylor succumbed to injuries sustained in a vehicle crash at the intersection of Guilford Avenue and Centre Street while responding to back up other officers on February 18, 2012.
During the emergency response, an SUV ran a red light and struck his patrol car, pushing it into a utility pole. Officer Taylor suffered severe injuries that required therapy and spinal fusion surgery. He had undergone the surgery but experienced complications.
He was transferred to a second hospital for additional therapy but passed away several hours after arriving.
