A review board upheld the termination of the former police detective who fired the shot that killed Breonna Taylor last year in Louisville, Kentucky.
The Louisville Metro Police Merit Board backed the decision to fire Myles Cosgrove by a 5-2 vote on Wednesday, a decision that arrived after several days of hearings.The Louisville Metro Police Department terminated Cosgrove in January for use of deadly force for firing 16 rounds into Taylor's home and failing to activate his body camera, according to a copy of his termination letter.
Detective Joshua Jaynes, who wrote the search warrant for the raid, was fired at the same time as Cosgrove. The Louisville police union at the time called the firings"unjustified."The police officer who fatally shot Breonna Taylor is crowdfunding money to retire"There is certainly no evidence in this case that policies and procedures of the LMPD were violated to the extent that warranted termination," the River City Fraternal Order of Police said in a statement.
