'Done': Hired gun tracked father-to-be with GPS for days before executing him in cold blood
Story by Conrad Hoyt • 17h
A man found guilty in a murder-for-hire plot in South Carolina has learned where he will be spending his coming years.
Quinton Taylor, 40, has been sentenced to life in prison, the South Carolina Ninth Circuit Solicitor's Office announced on Monday. A Charleston County jury found Taylor guilty on Friday of murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
In early May 2020, Taylor had been tracking 27-year-old DeAndre Rivers "for days." He had placed a GPS tracker on Rivers' car, and in the early morning hours of May 6, 2020, he was lying in wait.

As Rivers emerged from a friend's house on Gullah Avenue in North Charleston just after 4:30 a.m., Taylor aimed his gun and fired six times, the solicitor's office recounted in its press release. Officers from the North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) responded, and Rivers was pronounced dead.
