shows two investigators determined that none of the officers involved in serving a 2020 narcotics warrant at the 26-year-old's apartment should have fired their gun, but the findings were contradicted by senior officials in the Louisville Metro Police Department, according to a new report from two investigators.
PHOTO: Breonna Taylor, 26, was shot and killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police officers after they allegedly executed a search warrant of the wrong home. Mattingly, according to Meyer's report, "should not have taken the shot" because Walker, who had a permit to carry a handgun, wasn't a clear, isolated target after he ducked into a back bedroom at the end of a dimly lit hallway.
Hankison was the only officer indicted on criminal charges in the shooting, but not for Taylor's death. Hankison was charged with three counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree because bullets he allegedly fired missed Taylor but penetrated a wall of the residence and entered a neighboring apartment occupied by a child, a man and a pregnant woman.
Gentry, who came out of retirement to fill the position of interim chief, retired again in January when former Atlanta police chief, Erika Shields, was appointed to be Louisville's new top cop."I fired people that some believe should have been suspended, I reprimanded people some people should have been exonerated and I overturned what was believed was not appropriate for the situation," Gentry said.The Louisville Metro Police Department did not comment on Meyer's report.
