Search continues for a Pontiac man wanted in the murder of a Clarkston man.
Sean C. Taylor was killed about 11 a.m., Sept. 16, in Pontiac. The 21-year-old was reportedly in the area of Jessie and Paddock streets to buy prescription painkillers. According to Pontiac police, the suspect walked up to Taylor’s car, ordered him to stop, and shot him when he tried to escape.
Police are seeking Melvin Vito Dalton, 29, on open murder and felony firearms charges, said Det. Paul McDougal, Pontiac police.
“We want to bring him into custody and hopefully bring the family some closure,” McDougal said.
Police say Dalton is 6 feet, 1 inch, 190 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He is considered armed and dangerous.
He was convicted of narcotics possession in 2007, and sentenced to three days in jail and 18 months probation, according to Oakland County court records.
Taylor pled guilty to delivery and manufacture of marijuana and sentenced to probation in 2005, which he broke in 2007. He was sent to prison in March 2007, and paroled July 2007, according to Michigan Department of Corrections.
His funeral service was Sept. 20 at the Lewis E. Wint & Son Funeral Home, Clarkston.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Det. McDougal at 248-941-2734.
