DURBAN - Detective Myles Cosgrove, the man experts believe fired the shot that killed Breonna Taylor in 2020, has been fired.
Cosgrove and Detective Joshua Jaynes are the second and third policemen dismissed from the police force following the shooting.
According to the New York Daily News, a third cop, Detective Brett Hankinson, was dismissed in June and is the only policeman facing charges over the shooting.
Last week, interim police chief, Yvette Gentry, sent pre-termination letters to the officers mapping out reasons for her decision. Gentry has also disciplined four other officers implicated in the 2020 raid.
Joshua Jaynes for their involvement in the death of
Breonna Taylor. Attorneys for both Cosgrove and Jayne confirmed that the two former detectives were served pre-termination letters by Chief
Yvette Gentry earlier this week. We intend to show up to the pre-termination hearing on Dec. 31 and we re going to contest this action, although I m not optimistic about Interim Chief Gentry changing her decision, Jaynes attorney,
Thomas Clay, said.
Jaynes was not involved in the raid on March 13, but he did secure the search warrant for the maneuver. The former detective secured the warrant by claiming Taylor s ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover, was receiving packages at her apartment that were connected to a drug investigation. However, Jaynes never confirmed this information with the postal inspector.
