FIRST ON 3 UPDATE: Suspect identified after woman, 1-year-old found dead

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A 34-year-old man is in jail charged with the murder of a mother and her 1-year-old child. Darrell Gerard Taylor of Wilmington is in jail with no bond awaiting his first court appearance scheduled for tomorrow.

WPD spokeswoman Linda Rawley says the call came in at 6:34 a.m. at Greentree Apartments on Greentree Road. That’s off N. Kerr Ave.

Rawley said when officers arrived they saw Taylor, who was armed, and took him into custody. Police then found a 30-year-old woman and 1-year-old child dead in a car at the scene. A 3-year-old child and another woman survived the attack. Police said they were in serious condition at New Hanover Regional Medical Center Sunday night.

Police are not yet releasing the names of the victims. Rawley said investigators are trying to piece together what happened. She said they think it may have been the result of a domestic situation.

Taylor is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of robbery with a dangerous weapon charge.

The NC Department of Public Safety website shows Taylor has a criminal history that includes convictions for drug possession, assault on a female, breaking & entering, simple assault and resisting an officer.
