Suspect Charged In Jefferson County Child's Death

JEFFERSON COUNTY, AL — A convicted felon has been charged with capital murder in the death of 2-year-old Kaiden Ford. The child was found dead Wednesday night in east Jefferson County, and deputies arrested 31 year old Sylvester Corderyl Taylor Thursday.

Deputy Chief David Agee of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said deputies and paramedics responded to the 1100 block of Florentine Circle just after 7 p.m. Wednesday on a report of a two year old child not breathing.

Agee said an investigation determined that Kaiden died from injuries inflicted by Taylor.

"The total circumstances of this death has been determined to be suspicious and Sheriff's detectives are investigating," Agee said Wednesday.

Taylor, who served two years of a 10-year-sentence from a conviction in the 2014 death of Angela Marie McCall, is being held in Jefferson County Jail without bond.
