The St. Paul man and his two daughters shot to death last week will be memorialized at a joint funeral, his pastor said Tuesday.

The date has not been set, but will likely be a couple of weeks away, said Paul Marzahn, senior pastor at Crossroads Church in Lakeville, where McIntosh attended.

The family hopes that Anita Sprosty, the mother of the young women killed, will be well enough attend, but nephew Louis Hernandez said he didn’t know if that would be possible.

Sprosty, 46, was critically injured in the Payne-Phalen shootings.

Police say Jeffrey Jemaile Taylor, 20, killed Wade McIntosh, 47, and his daughters Maria McIntosh, 19, and Olivia McIntosh, 17, early Friday morning. Taylor had a child with Maria McIntosh.

Sprosty, who was shot in the face, is doing better and was able to be taken off a ventilator, Marzahn said Tuesday. She has been heavily sedated because of the extent of her injuries and, as far as Marzahn knew, had not been told that her daughters are dead.

The funeral will take place at Redeeming Love Church in Maplewood, where Maria and Olivia mostly recently attended, Marzahn said.

“Everything they did, they did together, so it just makes the most sense,” Hernandez said of Wade McIntosh and his daughters.

The Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women has asked organizations and individuals to display the Live Free Without Violence flag for Maria, Olivia and Wade McIntosh, the third, fourth and fifth victims of domestic violence homicide in the state this year.

The public awareness campaign is intended to bring attention to the impact that domestic violence has on communities across Minnesota.

Relatives and friends of Maria McIntosh have said she and Taylor were in an intense custody dispute over their 18-month-old daughter. Two friends also said McIntosh told them that Taylor abused her. Police had apparently not been called about the cases.

“Any instance of violence in a relationship should be taken seriously by friends, family members, and systems professionals such as law enforcement,” said Liz Richards, executive director of the Minnesota Coalition for Battered Women, in a Tuesday statement. “Domestic violence programs are a resource for everyone who may have questions about how to support someone in an abusive situation.”

After the triple homicide, police discovered Taylor dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Police said they found Taylor’s half brother, Jeffery Arkis Taylor, hiding in a shed about half a mile from the shootings in the 1600 block of English Street.

Officers had been notified that Maria McIntosh and Jeffrey J. Taylor’s daughter was missing from the scene of the shootings, and she was found unharmed with her uncle in the shed.

Police arrested Jeffery A. Taylor, 19, on suspicion of kidnapping, and aiding and abetting murder and attempted murder. He was released from jail on Monday without being charged, pending further investigation.

Maria’s daughter, Cheyenne, is in protective custody and family members are talking about long-term arrangements for her care, Marzahn said.

“She has a large, extended family,” he said. “I know they’ll love her and want what’s best for her.”
