TUCSON, Ariz. -- Convicted Washington-area sniper Lee Boyd Malvo confessed to police that he and cohort John Allen Muhammad were responsible for the 2002 killing of a 60-year-old man on a Tucson golf course, Tucson authorities said Friday.
"He admitted to the killing of Jerry Taylor," said Capt. Bill Richards, commander of the Tucson Police Department's violent crimes division.
Richards said Malvo spoke to police in Maryland for a two-hour period Thursday after he was granted immunity from prosecution. He said the shooting took place while he and Muhammad were in the area visiting Muhammad's older sister, Richards said.
Tucson police had long sought to speak with Malvo about the March 19, 2002, death of Taylor, 60, who died from a single gunshot fired from long range as he practiced chip shots at the Tucson course. The case had never been conclusively tied to Muhammad and Malvo.
