Taylor and Seymour attended the same high school and had an on-again, off-again relationship, according to Macomb Daily.

Police told WDIV that several firearms were taken from the home. Authorities are reportedly investigating how Taylor acquired a gun as his age means he is legally prohibited from owning a firearm.

Taylor is also facing felony firearm charges. His bond was set at $500,000.
