In Support of Ken Taylor, Veteran Shot in Road Rage

Ken Taylor, Veteran Shot in Road Rage
 
Help Ken Taylor — A Hero Who Needs Our Help Now 

You may have seen the headlines splashed all over local and national news:

Driver survives highway shooting with truck full of holes
 
On June 3, 2025, Kenneth Taylor — a 100% disabled U.S. Army veteran — was driving through Cobb County, Georgia, when he saw a woman in danger at a stoplight. 

Without hesitation, Ken placed his truck between her vehicle and the aggressor’s, shielding her and trying to de-escalate the situation. 

The suspect opened fire, striking Ken multiple times. Two bullets remain lodged in his chest, and another shattered his arm, causing permanent nerve damage. Still, Ken kept driving until first responders reached him in Roswell. By the grace of God, he survived. 

The suspect, Bashir Beal of Acworth, was arrested and charged. Justice is being pursued, but Ken’s recovery is only beginning. 

Why We're Here 
Ken did not ask for this campaign. He has already given so much as a disabled veteran, yet when he saw someone in danger, he acted. 

I served in the Army alongside Ken and know him as a brother, protector, and friend. On June 3rd, he proved once again that he would risk himself for someone else. 

Ken now faces serious expenses and a long recovery, including: 
▸  Medical bills, surgery, and ongoing care 
▸  Treatment for bullets still lodged in his chest 
▸  Rehabilitation for his arm and nerve damage 
▸  Replacement of his truck, which was destroyed 

Ken gave everything he had that morning. Now he should not have to face the financial burden, pain, and trauma alone.

"He would die for me... and for you. And he has proven this."
