Blaise Taylor, a former Tennessee Titans scout, was accused of poisoning his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning, to death, along with their unborn child. Taylor, 27, was arrested and had his bond set at $2.5 million. U.S. Marshals arrested Taylor in Utah and served him an indictment from Nashville police. Taylor previously worked for the Titans as a scout from 2019 to 2023. He faces two first-degree murder charges due to the deaths of Benning and her unborn child, whom he is believed to have fathered.
Following his arrest, Taylor made his first court appearance via video conference on April 3. The district attorney’s office is seeking life in prison without parole for Taylor. They argue that he knowingly committed the murder against a pregnant woman and a person under 12 years old. Benning was rushed to the hospital on February 25, 2023, after Taylor called 911 claiming she had an allergic reaction. She was unable to speak to police before she died, as her condition deteriorated rapidly. Benning was five months pregnant at the time, and their baby passed away on February 27. Benning herself passed away on March 6, her 25th birthday. The alleged murder took place in Nashville.
The case has shocked many, as Taylor’s actions have led to the deaths of two individuals. The Davidson County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Taylor’s arrest and bond situation. Taylor had relocated to Utah following the deaths, where he was apprehended by U.S. Marshals and served the indictment. The former Titans scout faces serious charges that could result in a life sentence. The circumstances of the case indicate that Taylor may have deliberately poisoned Benning and their unborn child, causing their tragic deaths.
As the investigation continues, Taylor remains out on bond after posting $2.5 million. The potential for a life sentence without parole looms over him, as the district attorney’s office works to bring justice in this heartbreaking case. Benning’s untimely death on her 25th birthday has left many in shock and disbelief, as they struggle to come to terms with the loss of a young life and the life of her unborn child. The court proceedings and legal proceedings will continue to unfold as the case progresses, shedding more light on the tragic events that led to this senseless tragedy.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office for further comment on the case, but has not received a response. The details of the case paint a disturbing picture of a former sports scout allegedly committing heinous crimes against his girlfriend and their unborn child. The community and the legal system are grappling with the shocking nature of the allegations and the tragic outcome of the deaths of Benning and her baby. The pursuit of justice for the victims will likely be a long and arduous process, as the legal system seeks to hold Taylor accountable for his alleged actions and the devastating consequences that have resulted from them.
