BREAKING: City of Louisville agrees to 'substantial' settlement in Breonna Taylor shooting
LOUISVILLE — Louisville's metro government is expected to announce a "substantial" financial settlement Tuesday with the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old Black woman fatally shot by police in her apartment six months ago, The Courier Journal has learned.
The accord will also provide housing credits to officers who agree to live within the city, and it would seek the authority for drug and alcohol testing of officers involved in any shooting. Taylor, 26, was shot and killed after Louisville Metro Police officers broke down her apartment door March 13 to serve a signed "no-knock"search warrant in connection with a narcotics investigation centered 10 miles away.
Mattingly and two other officers — detectives Brett Hankison and Myles Cosgrove — returned fire. Taylor was hit five times and died in her hallway. Charges in the Breonna Taylor case? Grand jury could provide 'Justice for Breonna' – or exonerate the officers who shot herIt alleges Taylor's life was wrongfully taken, that police used excessive force and the search was grossly negligent.
The case picked up steam and media coverage in May when local attorneys for the estate, Sam Aguiar and Lonita Baker, were joined by Florida-based attorney Ben Crump. He has represented Black Americans killed in controversial shootings, including Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown Jr. and Tamir Rice.
