Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron responds to Breonna Taylor s family s attorney on Fox & Friends.
Louisville Metro Police Department Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, who was shot during the no-knock raid resulting in Breonna Taylor s March 2020 death, is retiring.
Taylor s boyfriend, who said he feared the police were intruders during the botched drug raid, shot Mattingly, 48, in the leg; officers returned fire, ultimately killing Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT.
The LMPD confirmed Mattingly s retirement to Fox News on Thursday, saying he has preliminary plans to leave the department on June 1.
The department did not share any further statements. Mattingly s attorney, Kent Wicker, shared a Wednesday statement from Mattingly announcing his retirement with Fox News.

Simon & Schuster said it won’t distribute a book written by the Louisville police officer who was shot while executing a no-knock warrant at the home of Breonna Taylor, who was killed in the raid.
Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly’s book, “The Fight for Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy,” was to be published by Post Hill Press, senior publicist Devon Brown confirmed to the Louisville Courier Journal earlier on Thursday.
Simon & Schuster said it only learned about the book to be published by its “distribution client” Post Hill Press on Thursday. “We have subsequently decided not be involved in the distribution of this book,” the publishing company said in a statement.

In the year since her shooting death, much has transpired about what happened in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020. This is a timeline of what has gone on since.
It has been a year since 26-year-old EMT Breonna Taylor was killed inside her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment. Since news of her tragic passing grew beyond local news headlines, her death, along with the untimely passing of both Ahmed Arbury and George Floyd in 2020, sparked a global movement for radical change of systematic racism, police brutality, and push for equality not seen since the 1960s in America.
