Police have detained three men for questioning in death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, according to two law enforcement officials in Lee County, Florida.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the Miami-Dade County police department is in charge of the investigation and would not provide further details.

Detective Mario Rachid of the Miami-Dade police department said there were investigators "looking for leads" in Lee County, which is 160 miles northwest of Miami.

Taylor, 24, was shot in his home in suburban Miami early Monday morning and died on Tuesday after what police say was a random attempted burglary.

Rachid said he could not confirm at this time that anyone had been detained in connection with the case because the investigation is ongoing.

The Miami Herald was the first to report that three men were brought in for questioning in Taylor's murder. The men, all from the Fort Myers area, include two teenagers - one 17, the other 19 - and a 26-year-old, who had targeted Taylor's home after someone had bragged about the player's wealth, the newspaper reported on its Web site.

Taylor, who had not played in two weeks because of an injury, had been asleep in his bedroom with his girlfriend and their 18-month-old daughter, when noises in their house awoke them. He grabbed a machete he kept under the bed for protection, while his girlfriend hid beneath the covers with the baby. At least one intruder appeared at the bedroom door, shooting twice. One bullet hit a wall. The other hit Taylor, severing a main artery in his leg, which caused massive bleeding. His girlfriend and daughter were not injured.

Taylor's funeral has been scheduled for 11 a.m. Monday at Florida International University in Miami. Daniel Snyder, owner of the Redskins, has chartered a plane to fly the team, coaches and others in the organization to the service.
