The brutal attack occurred on March 30 and has left Mays hospitalised with severe injuries. The details surrounding the assault are currently unclear as authorities continue to investigate the matter.
The disturbing surveillance footage of the violent assault surfaced online and quickly went viral. In the footage, Taylor is seen engaging in a brutal attack on Mays. He repeatedly punches her in the face while she cries. Despite another female pleading with Taylor to stop and attempting to protect the girl, the YouTuber is relentless.
The video has shocked viewers and ignited a firestorm of public outrage. Kypree Taylor is known for making relationship-themed skits. He emerged on the scene with light-hearted content and has garnered a fanbase of 261,000 subscribers on YouTube.
