Father Finds Clue In Hermosa Beach Son's Slaying

HERMOSA BEACH, CA — The dad of a Hermosa Beach man killed while on vacation in Mexico found a clue that could help crack the case after six months of it going unsolved.

While closing out his son's bank accounts, father Kris Meyer found two transactions made in Oklahoma City in December — a month after his son, 27-year-old Taylor Kristopher Meyer, was murdered. Oklahoma police are now asking for help identifying a man caught on an ATM camera last December using Meyer's credit card.

"Seeing the person that could potentially (be) involved in the murder or has connections to the people who were involved in the murder, it gave me a very eerie feeling," Kris Meyer told the news station.

Meyer was stabbed to death in November 2018 while celebrating a friend's birthday in Playa del Carmen in Mexico. The case remains unsolved, the Mercury News reported.

The Oklahoma City Police Department posted two photos to social media from Dec. 7, 2018 of a man they said was using Meyer’s card.

"The photos we are posting are of the male who used that card — and we need help identifying him to hopefully help investigators get one step closer to solving this tragic crime," the police department Facebook post said. "He was driving a silver SUV and was with a female at the time."

Anyone with information is asked to call 405-235-7300, or online at OKCCrimeTips.com, referring to Case #19-0028862.

Taylor Meyer moved to Hermosa Beach about 18 months before he was killed and worked as a sales executive for UPS, Mercury News reported. He grew up in Claremont, and graduated with degrees in communications and sociology from the University of Colorado Boulder, the news website reported.
