BREONNA TAYLOR.

Breonna Taylor was 26 years old and worked as an emergency room technician.

On 13th March, Breonna Taylor was shot multiple times in her home and killed by the Louisville police after a judge had signed a warrant for them to search her house because they believed one of the men they were investigating had picked up packages from the house.
The warrant was a ‘no-knock warrant’ which gave the police authority to enter the property without identifying themselves.

Breonna was in bed with her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, at the time when the police forced entry into her home, Mr Walker fired at one of the police officers, unaware who was entering the home, and hit the officer in the leg, he was expected to make a full recovery, but was charged with attempted murder of a police officer until last month when the charges were dropped.

When Mr Walker fired his gun at the officers, the officers shot back multiple times.

They shot Breonna eight times whilst she was in bed, killing her.

The three officers involved were placed on administrative reassignment.
