Two Louisville Metro Police Department officers fired over their involvement in the Breonna Taylor case are appealing their termination.
Gentry alleged Jaynes was untruthful in obtaining a warrant to search Taylor’s home, which police raided on March 13, 2020, in search of evidence against her ex-boyfriend. LMPD officers fatally shot Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, during the raid.
Cosgrove’s termination letter said he violated body camera and use-of-force policies, including failing to “verify a threat” or identify a target when he discharged his gun multiple times into Taylor’s apartment ultimately firing the shot that killed Taylor, according to a ballistics report from an FBI lab.
