Louisville police kill Breonna Taylor during apartment raid

Louisville police officers shoot and kill Breonna Taylor in her apartment on March 13, 2020, while executing a drug investigation warrant. Taylor is a 26-year-old Black emergency medical worker.\n\nFederal prosecutors later charge four Louisville officers with crimes connected to the warrant, the raid, and the aftermath. The Justice Department says officers falsified information used to obtain the warrant and then tried to cover up their conduct.\n\nThe event is important because it connects racial justice protests to no-knock raids, police accountability, and the treatment of Black women in public debates about state violence.
