Two of the Louisville police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old emergency technician killed in her home in March, will be fired.
Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Detective Joshua Jaynes, who secured the no-knock warrant used to enter Taylor’s home, and Detective Myles Cosgrove, who fired the shot that killed Taylor, both received pre-termination letters from LMPD interim chief Yvette Gentry, The
Louisville Courier Journalreported.
According to the letters, obtained by the
Courier Journal, Cosgrove is being fired for violating LMPD procedures on use of force and body cameras (he wasn’t wearing one at the time of the shooting), while Jaynes reportedly violated department policies on search warrant execution preparation and truthfulness.

Kenya Moore continues her well-earned reputation of eagerly sticking her needle into fellow cast members. Moore accused fellow “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams of engaging in activism to raise her profile and respect levels, or what is termed as “clout chasing.”
As
rolling out reported, Williams was arrested at least twice this past summer after taking to the Louisville, Kentucky streets to get justice for slain EMT worker Breonna Taylor. Three cops executed a no-knock warrant on Taylor’s home at 1 a.m. on March 13, 2020. Because the boyfriend, licensed gun owner Kenneth Walker, thought they were being robbed, he fired a shot at the door in self-defense, striking an officer in the leg. The police emptied their clips in return fire, killing Taylor on the scene. The three cops have since been exonerated of homicide charges by Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron and the grand jury.
