„It’s about damn time,“ said Sam Aguiar, a Louisville-based attorney for Taylor’s family.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced Friday that Police Chief Rob Schroeder was „initiating termination procedures“ against Louisville Metro Police Officer Brett Hankison, one of the officers involved in the March shooting death of Breonna Taylor, while two other officers remain on administrative reassignment while investigations into the shooting continue.
Shortly after midnight on March 13, three officers were executing a so-called no-knock search warrant on Taylor’s apartment, which allows police to enter without warning. Louisville police claimed they identified themselves before entering the residence, where Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker were in bed — though a lawsuit filed by her family said multiple neighbors provided statements that police did not knock or identify themselves.
