Aerial view shows mural honoring Breonna Taylor at Chambers Park in Annapolis, Maryland. The mural was organized by Future History Now in partnership with Banneker-Douglass Museum and The Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture.
A ground mural depicting a portrait of Breonna Taylor is seen at Chambers Park, Monday, July 6, 2020, in Annapolis, Md. The mural honors Taylor, a 26-year old Black woman who was fatally shot by police in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment. The artwork was a team effort by the Banneker-Douglass Museum, the Maryland Commission on African American History and Culture, and Future History Now, a youth organization that focuses on mural projects.
“Connecting the dots, it’s clear that these officers should never have been at Breonna Taylor’s home in the first place, and that they invaded the residence with no probable cause," national civil rights attorney Ben Crump said in a statement. Crump and other Louisville attorneys are representing Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, in a civil lawsuit, which was amended this week to include new allegations about the night of the shooting.
But that man, Jamarcus Glover, was arrested that night more than 10 miles away, though two other suspects the police were looking for were not with Glover, the suit said. Those suspects, identified in the suit as “AW” and “DC” never had a relationship with Taylor and neither looked like Kenneth Walker, Taylor's boyfriend who was with her the night she was shot, the court filing said.
“As such, it does indeed appear that the ‘hit the wrong house’ when they went to Springfield , rather than actually hitting the house in which the target was actually located,” the 31-page complaint said. Mattingly and the other officers serving the warrant, Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison, then began shooting “erratically, recklessly, willfully, wantonly and maliciously from inside the home, outside the home, outside a neighbor’s home, outside Breonna’s patio door and outside the window to Breonna’s sister’s room,” the suit said. Taylor was struck by bullets in the hallway. Hankison has been fired; the other two officers remain on administrative assignment.
