Beyonce wants to see justice for Breonna Taylor.
Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT, was fatally shot by the Louisville Metro Police Department on March 13. Three plainclothes officers executing a no-knock search warrant entered her apartment in Louisville, Kentucky. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, said he believed the officers were intruders, and gunfire was exchanged between him and the LMPD. Officers fired over 20 shots into the apartment, including eight shots at Taylor, who was asleep and unarmed when LMPD entered her residence.
, these small steps in the right direction are painful reminders that there still has been no justice for Breonna Taylor and her family," Beyonce wrote in her letter. Their incident report Beyonce continued, noting that no arrests have been made and no officers have been fired."The LMPD's investigation was turned over to your office, and yet all of the officers involved in the shooting remain employed by the LMPD. Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Officers Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison must be held accountable for their actions," she told Cameron.
