The 26-year-old EMT and aspiring nurse was in her bedroom with her boyfriend when the Louisville Metro Police Department officers, in plain clothes, arrived just after midnight.

The officers, executing a narcotics warrant, told investigators they knocked and announced themselves before using a battering ram to bash the door to Breonna Taylor's South End apartment off its hinges that chaotic March night.
Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker III, and his lawyer have maintained that he didn't know who was entering the Springfield Drive apartment and that he fired once. Kentucky's top prosecutor said Walker's round hit one of the officers, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, in the leg.
