In March of 2020, Breonna Taylor was killed in her home by four Louisville Metro police officers. Six months later, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced that the officers would not be indicted on any charges related to her death. The only charges filed were for wanton endangerment for shooting into a neighboring apartment. This is a grave injustice. Breonna Taylor deserved better.

We are calling on Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s office to appoint a special prosecutor who will re-submit Breonna Taylor’s case to a new grand jury, present all evidence and applicable charges, fully explain the application of principles of self-defense, allow the grand jury to pursue additional charges beyond the prosecutors’ recommendation where the grand jury deems it appropriate, and make public the process by which the grand jury will deliberate.
