Taylor, an emergency medical technician, and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker were asleep in her apartment on Mar 13, when police burst in, looking for contraband that focused on her ex-boyfriend.Walker, who later said that he had thought the police were burglars, fired once, wounding one officer. Three police officers responded with 32 shots, six of which struck Taylor, who died at the scene.
