MIAMI - Police said two men and two juveniles arrested Friday in the shooting death of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor went to his home intent on stealing, not killing.

The suspects didn't expect Taylor to be there, said Miami-Dade County police Director Robert Parker, but Taylor was recuperating from a knee injury and had returned home from Washington. When Taylor surprised them, he was shot.

Police spokeswoman Linda O'Brien identified the four suspects as: Venjah K. Hunte, 20; Eric Rivera Jr., 17; Jason Scott Mitchell, 17; and Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow, 18. O'Brien said the charges for each had not yet been determined, but "we are talking murder and burglary."

Authorities said they had more than one confession, but Parker would not elaborate.

The four were arrested Friday in southwest Florida, about 100 miles from Miami. They will be booked into the Lee County Jail and eventually will be returned to Miami, O'Brien said. She did not have any information on when they would appear in court, their hometowns or if they had attorneys

"They were certainly not looking to go there and kill anyone," Parker said. "They were expecting a residence that was not occupied. So murder or shooting someone was not their initial motive."

Miami.com is reporting one of the perps had been in Taylor's home before, for a birthday party.

The family of suspect Jason Mitchell, 19, told The Miami Herald that he had attended a party for Taylor's half-sister, Sasha Johnson, at Taylor's Palmetto Bay home. Investigators believe Taylor's relatives may have bragged about his wealth.

The Washington Compost's Len Shapiro got pilloried as a 'racist skunk' by WOL-AM's Sharptonesque Mark Gray for pointing out that if you sleep with dogs, the fleas you get ain't necessarily Irish.

Just another dumb sumbitch buying into the Jesse Jackson victimhood Ponzi scheme. And more blacks will end up in refrigerators as long as they guzzle that poison-laced rhetorical Kool-Aid.

They were also very kind, generous, fun-loving and all-around good guys - the type you want your kids to associate with.

I just LOVE those Brink's Home Security commercials with a WHITE GUY breaking into the house in every single one of them.

I’m glad they caught them. I wonder which one of those four actually was responsible for pulling the trigger. I’m sure it’s of little consolation to the family that they weren’t intending to physically harm him. They were still trying to steal from him, and they didn’t hesitate to shoot him. The one did chores for Taylor and the others had been in his house at a party, so they knew he had valuables to steal. These guys couldn’t afford nice things, and they thought they’d steal them from someone who could. They ought to have tried getting a job and/or education so they could get their own things.

Well WTF did they shoot him to death for if this wasn't their intent?

Jezez, here come the apologist for these murdering sons of bitches. Didn't take long.

WTF is wrong with the people in this country? Are they all driving around with exhaust leaks?
