FILE - In this Jan. 4, 2018, file photo, Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields speaks at a press conference in Atlanta. Louisville city leaders praised Shields, who has been hired to oversee their struggling department in the wake of Breonna Taylor's death, but some critics questioned if she was the right choice after a rocky departure from her previous job. The panel included two Black city council members who have been instrumental in police reforms since Taylor was fatally shot by city officers in March. David McAtee was killed during early protests of Taylor’s death. Shields, who is white, will be the fourth person to lead the police force since Taylor’s death.

The police files contain conflicting information about when the contacts ended between Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, Jamarcus Glover. Other evidence suggests Taylor and Glover were together in the same vehicle a month before her March 13 death. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said it was important to release the police investigation files as quickly as possible, after making “necessary redactions." Much of the information in the files was included in records from the grand jury proceedings released last week, he said. She said she did not believe justice was done in the Taylor case.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The lone Kentucky detective facing charges related to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor pleaded not guilty Monday. The decision not to charge the officers set off protests in Louisville and across the country. On Monday, Louisville's mayor lifted the curfew put in place after people refused to end their nighttime protests. Her response comes after Democratic state Rep. Attica Scott was charged with the felony last week while participating in Louisville protests for racial justice. Many marched along Louisville’s streets chanting “Breonna Taylor, say her name,” and “no justice, no peace."

Protesters spend time in a church lot, Friday, Sept. 25, 2020, in Louisville. Many briefly ended up back at a downtown square that has been a focal point of protests. Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer had urged continued peaceful protests in an appearance at a news conference Saturday evening. Cameron said the other officers were not charged with Taylor’s killing because they acted to protect themselves.

(AP Photo/John Minchillo)LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Six months after Breonna Taylor was fatally shot by police in her Kentucky apartment, a grand jury delivered a long-awaited answer about whether the officers would be punished. Some questions and answers about Cameron's findings in the Breonna Taylor case:WHO WAS BREONNA TAYLOR? HOW MANY TIMES WAS BREONNA TAYLOR SHOT? WHY WAS NO ONE CHARGED WITH SHOOTING BREONNA TAYLOR? Cameron said state law “bars us from seeking charges in Breonna Taylor's death.” Cameron also said there was no conclusive evidence that any of Hankison's 10 gunshots hit Taylor inside her home.

Authorities pleaded for calm while activists vowed to fight on Thursday in Kentucky's largest city, where a gunman wounded two police officers during anguished protests following the decision not to charge officers for killing Breonna Taylor. “There is no one answer, no easy answer to that question.”Fischer pleaded for calm a day after peaceful protests in Louisville turned violent, and a gunman shot and wounded two police officers. Taylor, an emergency medical worker, was shot multiple times by white officers after Taylor's boyfriend fired at them, authorities said. The only possibility for criminal charges against the officers for the killing itself seems to rest with the U.S. Justice Department. Since Taylor's killing, Louisville has taken some steps to address protesters' concerns.

Officials in Louisville were preparing Tuesday for more protests and possible unrest as the public nervously awaits the state attorney generals announcement about whether he will charge officers in Breonna Taylors shooting death. Taylor's shooting has been followed by months of protests in the city. But some involved in protests seeking justice for Taylor questioned why the police were going to such “overkill” lengths when the city has been the site of peaceful protests for months. Large protests over Taylor’s death that at times became violent erupted in late May in the city but most demonstrations since then have been peaceful. Last week, the city of Louisville settled a lawsuit from Taylor’s family for $12 million and pledged several police reforms as part of the agreement.

(AP Photo/Dylan Lovan)LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A settlement between the family of Breonna Taylor and the city of Louisville could bring wide-ranging reforms to how police officers live and work, changes that would represent a rare outcome in a police misconduct lawsuit. And a legal expert noted that even the most wide-ranging of reforms won't succeed if the people entrusted with implementing them aren't onboard. The city of Louisville passed a new law earlier this year, named after Taylor, that bans the use of no-knock warrants. Tamika Mallory is among numerous activists in Louisville who say police reforms will be meaningless if the officers involved in Taylor's death aren't charged.

The mural honors Taylor, a 26-year old Black woman who was fatally shot by police in her Louisville, Kentucky, apartment. The shooting set off weeks of protests, policy changes and a call for the officers who shot Taylor to be criminally charged. An ambulance that had been stationed near Taylor's apartment in anticipation of the initial search had been called off, the suit said. Police arrived at Taylor's apartment about 12:40 a.m. and banged on the door but did not say they were police officers, the suit said.

Calls for action against the officers have gotten louder during a national reckoning over racism and police brutality following George Floyd's death in Minneapolis. That has left people, from protesters to celebrities, wondering why justice is slow to come in Taylor's case. It's definitely taking too long, it's definitely frustrating, said Kirstia Drury, 32, who joined street protests in Louisville after Taylor's death. He's executive director of advocacy group Christopher 2X Game Changers and has often served as a conduit between the Black community and Louisville officials during conflicts.

The Louisville Metro police department has fired one of the police officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor, more than three months after the 26-year-old black woman was killed in her home. The letter said Hankison fired the rounds without supporting facts that the deadly force was directed at a person posing an immediate threat. This month, Beyonc also joined the call for charges against officers involved in Taylor's death.

The Louisville Metro Council on Thursday voted unanimously to ban the use of "no-knock" search warrants, CBS affiliate WKLY reported. The bill, "Breonna's Law," was named after Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency technician who was killed by police during a drug raid on her home in March. The law would require officers to wear body cameras when executing search warrants, WKLY reported. None of the officers have been charged in Taylor's death, despite widespread calls from the public to do so.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. An incident report released by Louisville Police on the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor is mostly blank, with few details of the incident that spurred days of protests in the city. The report dated March 13, the day of the shooting, cites a police-involved death investigation and identifies Taylor, 26, as the victim. Taylor was shot eight times by narcotics detectives who had a warrant to enter her apartment. The report, released this week, also has a box to check for forced entry, which was checked No, and it also said none in a space for the victim's injuries. They released details about the officer who was shot, Jon Mattingly.

Police said McAtee fired at officers, who returned fire, but video evidence suggests law enforcement officials were firing pepper balls at the restaurant before McAtee fired his weapon. A video released by Louisville Police on Tuesday appears to show McAtee firing a gun from the door of his restaurant as officers shot projectiles. That video shows people on Broadway, a major thoroughfare, scattering away from and into McAtee's eatery as officers approach, firing projectiles. Police had used pepper balls to scatter protests crowds after curfew through the weekend. A lawyer for the family said the video raises more questions than answers.McAtee's nephew, Marvin McAtee, said people fled to the barbecue stand when police began firing pepper balls.

The city of Louisville, Kentucky, plans to reach out for an independent review of its police department amid protests that erupted over the deaths of black people during encounters with police, the mayor said Wednesday. Officials plan to hire an outside group to perform a comprehensive, top-to-bottom" review of the police department, Mayor Greg Fischer said. Fischer said the outside review will focus on such issues as police training, use of force, bias-free policing, accountability and community engagement. The evaluation will include listening sessions to gather input from a cross-section of the community, the mayor said.

It came on a violent night in St. Louis, which saw four officers shot, businesses burned and ransacked, and people pelting officers with rocks hours following a peaceful protest. Another officer shot back, and the suspects fled but were arrested. Near where the officer was wounded, police found a man shot to death and a handgun under his body.

The new policy requires Louisville's police chief to sign off on all no-knock warrants before they go to a judge. Lemp family attorney Rene Sandler said police began using no-knock warrants decades ago as a tool in the nations war on drugs. He said police are adept at working around restrictions and tailoring paperwork to suit the standards of judges issuing search warrants. Banning no-knock warrants, if any jurisdiction can pull that off, is an important step, Kraska said. These different groups that normally would be at odds with one another all agree on the inappropriateness of no-knock warrants, he added.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer announced the firing of Police Chief Steve Conrad at a news conference Monday. He said officers involved in the shooting failed to activate body cameras at the chaotic scene. Accordingly, I have relieved Steve Conrad of his duties as chief of Louisville Metro Police Department.Gov. Two Louisville officers and two Guard soldiers returned fire, he said. It recorded the sound of bullets being fired as groups of police and Guard soldiers crouched behind cars.

Police said six people were arrested during Fridays protest, which began peacefully but grew more destructive as the night went on. During the protests, a police officer was seen on camera firing what appeared to be pepper balls at a news crew during a live television broadcast. A crew from WAVE-TV was on air when reporter Kaitlin Rust was heard yelling off-camera: Ive been shot! The use of nonlethal force on the WAVE-TV crew happened the same day CNN employees were arrested live on air while covering protests in Minnesota. Gunfire erupted during earlier Louisville protests on Thursday night, wounding seven people.
