He was best man when James Shira and Savahna Collier promised each other eternal fidelity. But shortly after the wedding, Terry Taylor Jr. was intentionally run over - by the groom and his newlywed wife.

According to the Flint Police Department on Facebook, Shirah and Collier tied the knot in the garden of a friend's house in Flint, Michigan. Taylor Jr. was there as best man.

Around 8 p.m., a neighbor called 911 and reported that "a pedestrian had been seriously injured" after a collision with a car. An ambulance took Taylor Jr. to the emergency room of the local hospital, where he died of serious internal injuries. 

The couple's victim was father-of-three Terry Taylor Jr.

According to the police report, the father of three was allegedly arguing with the groom before the accident: "The argument escalated. Shirah was behind the wheel of a large SUV, with his wife in the passenger seat. They were traveling at high speed and intentionally rammed the deceased as he crossed the road."

Savahna Collier was in the passenger seat when her husband hit her best man with his car.

Shirah must stand trial for manslaughter. He is being held in custody without the possibility of bail. His wife has been charged as an accomplice, but was released on 4000 dollars bail until the start of the trial.
