One of the Louisville Metro Police officers who killed Breonna Taylor is being fired, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said Friday. It has been more than three months since police shot and killed the 26-year-old Black woman after entering her home through a “no-knock” warrant during an investigation that was unrelated to her. Hankison and the two other officers involved in Taylor’s death had been on administrative leave since March, pending an investigation into the shooting. More than three months after the incident, none of them have been arrested or charged. Police Chief Robert Schroeder sent Hankison a letter Friday, according to local media, in which he informed the officer of “my current intention to terminate your employment with the Louisville Metro Police Department,” citing a review of the investigation.
