LOUISVILLE, Ky. Detective Myles Cosgrove failed to properly identify a target when he fired 16 rounds into Breonna Taylor s apartment the night Louisville Metro Police fatally shot the 26-year-old Black woman, according to a copy of his pretermination letter obtained by The Courier Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network.
In seeking his firing, interim Chief Yvette Gentry found Cosgrove violated Louisville Metro Police procedures for his use of force and failing to use a body camera during the March 13 raid.
Cosgrove, the FBI concluded, fired the shot that killed Taylor, hitting her pulmonary artery. But his rounds sprayed the apartment, and he wasn t certain what he was shooting at, according to the letter.
