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.
Breonna Taylor was killed in her sleep by police officers in Louisville, Kentucky.
As the legal battle ensues, progress to bring those responsible for what happened March 13, 2020 to justice is slowly unfolding.
Kim Burbrink, the police Major who was in charge of the officers involved in Breonna’s killing, was demoted and reassigned, according to
“Although these events unfolded prior to my arrival here, I find this to be the appropriate course of action based on the recommendations of my senior staff,” Louisville Police Chief
Erika Shields wrote in a memo.
“Internal investigations and resulting discipline are paramount to the accountability of this police department and those across the nation.”
