Breonna Taylor, killed by police in March, is being remembered on what would have been her 27th birthday.
Legal: A wrongful death lawsuit, an FBI investigation, but no charges
Taylor’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit two months after her killing, claiming charges of battery, wrongful death, excessive force, negligence and gross negligence. The no-knock warrant issued by police included Taylor’s house because, according to a police affidavit for a search warrant for the raid, which was obtained by CNN affiliate WAVE, authorities suspected a man involved in a drug ring was receiving packages of drugs at her home.
On May 21, the FBI’s Louisville office announced they were opening an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
Since these legal announcements, there has been little movement in Taylor’s case. The three officers involved in her shooting are still on administrative leave, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. But they have not been charged with any crimes.
Institutional: Changes to police department, exit of chief, outside review
On May 21, the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department announced it would require all sworn officers to wear body cameras.
