LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY: Breonna Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker III has resolved the lawsuit he brought in response to "the unlawful police raid that led to Taylor's death," with the city of Louisville for $2M, according to a news release from Walker's legal team.
Louisville Metro Police Department officers shot and killed Taylor, 26, on March 13, 2020, while conducting a search warrant as part of a narcotics investigation in the early hours. Officers broke through her apartment door shortly before 1am. Police claimed that they made their presence known before entering. Later, Walker claimed that he and Taylor shouted to see who was at the door but received no response. Walker grabbed a gun he lawfully owned and fired a shot as police kicked through the door because he thought they were intruders, as per CNN.
