Louisville Police Formally Terminate Two Officers Involved in Breonna Taylor's Killing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Kentucky, the Louisville Police Department has officially fired two
detectives involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor, after the two men
received pre-termination letters last week. Taylor, a 26-year-old Black
emergency room technician, was shot to death in her own home by police
on March 13, sparking mass protests. The officers are Detective Myles
Cosgrove, who fired the shot that killed Taylor, and Detective Joshua
Jaynes, who prepared the search warrant that led to the fatal raid. No
one has been criminally charged over Breonna Taylor's death.
