Breonna Taylor

How they died

Deadly force

Officers reportedly went to a home for a narcotics investigation with a no-knock warrant around 1 a.m. As officers broke into the home, the subject's boyfriend, who alleges he did not know the intruders were police, shot a warning shot "at the ground." One officer was shot and wounded. Police shot and killed Breonna Taylor (who was unarmed) and wounded another. Six months after Taylor's death, the family was awarded $12 million for her wrongful death.
