Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says the city has agreed to a settlement with the family of Breonna Taylor that includes a $12 million payment and police reforms after the Black woman was fatally shot by police who burst into her home at night.
Taylor’s death sparked months of protests in Louisville and calls nationwide for the officers to be criminally charged.
The state’s attorney general is investigating police actions in the March 13 fatal shooting.
The lawsuit alleged the police used flawed information to obtain a “no-knock” warrant to enter her apartment.
Taylor was studying to be a nurse and working at two local hospitals. Protesters have for months demanded that the officers involved in Taylor's death be charged, and several celebrities have joined their calls for justice. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is investigating the officers' actions, but has declined to offer a timeline for a potential charging decision.
Two of the officers involved in the case have been placed on leave and one, Brett Hankison, has been fired.
