Ryan Hill Clears Rumors About Sean Taylor's Murder

PERRINE (CBS4) ― Miami-Dade Police are not commenting about suspects in Sean Taylor's murder because this is an open investigation, but his attorney did raise some concerns about Ryan Hill. He didn't shy away from talking to us about this case and his lawsuit.

The Perrine man sued Sean Taylor last June after Taylor pleaded no contest to charges he waved a gun at him and others he thought had stolen his all-terrain vehicle. He also said Taylor hit him repeatedly.

"He had jumped on me at the house over there," said Hill. "We had started fighting--that's all he did. He did pull some weapons out but he didn't shoot nobody--nothing like that."

PETER D'OENCH: "But he did hurt you?"

"Yeah, him and his home boys jumped on me," said Hill.

Taylor's attorney, Richard Sharpstein had always disputed that account.

"He's looking for money. He's a gold digger," said SharpsteIn.

"It wasn't about money; I didn't do nothing to Sean," said Hill. "Sean jumped on me for no reason. He didn't even know me. Sean, what's this about jumping on me."

Sharpstein also suggested police take a closer look at Hill.

"There were some threats by people like Ryan Hill, but I will leave it to the police to straighten this out," he said.

When we asked Hill about Taylor's murder, he said, "I was sorry to hear about that. I saw him in the mall three months ago and he said hi to me and everything, and he was happy…. I don't know what happened. Someone shot him for no reason."

PETER D'OENCH: "You're not a suspect right?"

"No. I'm not a suspect."

PETER D'OENCH: "Did you have any reason to hurt Sean Taylor?"

"No. I seen him in the mall; we was cool. After that incident everything was alright."

PETER D'OENCH: "Who do you think shot him?"

"I don't know who shot him. They said the intruder was in the house. So it was probably somebody who he knows."

Police were not able to say if there was more than one intruder in Taylor's home. Hill says police detectives have not spoken with him, and he insists there is no need to.
