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.
Goal: Do not publish book by cop involved in Breonna Taylor’s death.
Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, a cop involved in Breonna Taylor’s death, has a book deal with Post Hill Press. Mattingly plans to publish The Fight for Truth: The Inside Story Behind the Breonna Taylor Tragedy with Post Hill Press, a small, conservative, “Christian” publishing house. Normally, books published by Post Hill Press are distributed by Simon & Schuster. However, the publishing power house said on Twitter: “Like much of the American public, earlier today Simon & Schuster learned of plans by distribution client Post Hill Press to publish a book by Jonathan Mattingly. We have subsequently decided not to be involved in the distribution of this book.”
