The Miami-Dade Police Department has arrested four people in connection with the fatal shooting of Washington Redskins star Sean Taylor.

Police identify the men as 20-year-old Venjah K. Hunte, 17-year-old Eric Rivera Junior, 17-year-old Jason Scott Mitchell, and 18-year-old Charles Kendrick Lee Wardlow.

Taylor died Tuesday, one day after being shot at his suburban Miami home during what officials said appeared to be an attempted burglary. Police say the suspects weren't expecting Taylor, who was recovering from a knee injury, to be home.

Police director Robert Parker says authorities have more than one confession, but he would not elaborate. The Miami Herald reports investigators believe the men learned of Taylor's house through someone who unwittingly set up the burglary by bragging about Taylor's wealth.

A public viewing for Taylor is scheduled for Sunday in Miami. The entire Redskins organization plans to fly to Florida to attend Monday's funeral.
