LMPD says its investigation surrounding Breonna Taylor's death is nearly complete
Quote:
Public outcry has ignited two months after an officer-involved shooting resulted in a Louisville woman dying, and LMPD's chief is giving hope that there's an end in sight for their investigation.
The death of Breonna Taylor, 26, has been brought back to light. It appears to have been in large part due to social media calling for justice.
Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was taken into custody. He also fired a gun, police said. An officer was injured, and all three were put on administrative leave.
Taylor's family sued three LMPD officers who fired shots into her home on March 14 as they were serving a search warrant.
LMPD officials do not have body camera footage. They said narcotics officers do not wear cameras.
Police have also said they knocked before entering, but recently uncovered documents show a "no-knock warrant" had been requested

There have been arrests, but police said the situation is ongoing and information will not be available for some time.
