The Louisville Metropolitan Police Department in Kentucky has informed two more officers of its intention to fire them for their “extreme violations” of departmental policies that led to Breonna Taylor’s unnecessary death.
One of the officers, Detective Joshua Jaynes, will be fired for obtaining a search warrant under fraudulent means. The second officer, who the FBI determined fired the fatal shot, Detective Myles Cosgrove, also was informed that he will no longer be employed with the department, NBC News reports.
Both men are entitled to a pre-termination hearing in the very near future, but the attorney for Jaynes does not expect the ruling to be overturned.
