Breonna Taylor

Type Homicide
Date March 13, 2020

EMT Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by police executing a no-knock warrant at her Louisville apartment. No drugs were found. Her boyfriend fired at officers believing it was a break-in. Only one officer was indicted — for endangering neighbors — not for Taylor's death. Her case became a central civil rights issue.
