Miami-Dade detectives have detained two teenagers and a man in his 20s in Lee County for questioning in the death of Washington Redskins football star Sean Taylor.
Investigators believe the young men learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about the football star's wealth.
The suspects include 17- and 19-year-olds and a 26-year-old. All hail from the Fort Myers area. Comment: That's approx. 150 miles from Taylor's home.
The former University of Miami star was not supposed to be home at the time of the break-in. While the Redskins played in Tampa, he had come home to get a second medical opinion on his injured knee.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents and at least two Miami-Dade homicide squads have been in Fort Myers and they picked up the young men Friday morning.
Taylor was shot early Monday by an intruder who surprised him in the bedroom of his Palmetto Bay home.
Taylor wielded a machete as he tried to protect his fianc?e, Jackie Garcia, and their 18-month-old baby girl. The two were hiding under the covers as Taylor was shot.
One bullet pierced the wall. The other struck Taylor in the groin, severing his femoral artery and causing massive blood loss. He died at about 3:30 a.m. Tuesday at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Here is a C&P from my post on this thread:

He received probation only and would've ended up with no criminal record...he was still on probation and thus not allowed to have firearms at the time of his death.
Here is a C&P from Taylor's arrest mentioned on my previous post.
Sorry, but this paper SELLS archived articles...only this tidbit is free:

REDSKINS' TAYLOR CHARGED IN SHOOTING
Former University of Miami All-American and current Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor turned himself in to police Saturday night and was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm and battery. Taylor pointed a firearm at a person during a dispute over an allegedly stolen ATV and demanded to know where the vehicle was, said Miami-Dade police spokeswoman Linda O'Brien. The incident occurred about 1 a.m. Wednesday, O'Brien said. No one was injured but a car was...added from my recollection: The car was shot up by "allegedly" Taylor's posse. It belonged to the person Taylor suspected of stealing his ATV, the same person who still has an ongoing lawsuit against Taylor0 -
