Slain college football player is brother of former Sooner Adrian Taylor

A college football player shot to death by an Arlington (Texas) police officer was the brother of a former Oklahoma football player.

Christian Taylor, 19, was fatally shot by an officer responding to a burglary call at a car dealership in Arlington early Friday morning.

Taylor is the brother of former Sooners defensive tackle Adrian Taylor, who played at OU from 2006-2010.

Christian Taylor was not carrying a weapon at the time but was seen on a surveillance video trying to open locked cars on the lot, kicking out the windshield of a car on the lot and driving an SUV into the front of the dealership's showroom.
