The criminal case against Kenneth L. Walker, Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend has been permanently dropped. Kentucky Judge Olu Stevens signed the order on March 8, which prevents prosecutors from retrying him for that case again. Walker shot a police officer during the deadly no-knock raid when the police stormed Taylor and Walker’s home, killing Taylor.
According to The Associated Press, prosecutors dismissed an attempted murder charge against Kenneth L. Walker in May, about two months after Taylor’s death. However, prosecutors left open the opportunity to revisit the charge against Walker if new evidence surfaced.

The Louisville Metro Police Department is moving to fire two of the officers involved in the raid that led to the police shooting of Breonna Taylor in March, attorneys for the officers confirmed on Tuesday. Detective Myles Cosgrove, one of the officers who opened fire during the raid, and Detective Josh Jaynes, who obtained the search warrant for Taylor s home, have both received pre-termination letters, their attorneys said.
Jaynes pre-termination letter, signed by Interim Police Chief Yvette Gentry, accuses him of lying on the application for the search warrant, according to a copy of the letter obtained by CBS News. In the application, Jaynes claimed he received information from a U.S. Postal Inspector that Jamarcus Glover, Taylor s ex-boyfriend, had been receiving suspicious packages at Taylor s apartment.
