Louisville’s city government has announced plans to review the handling by the mayor’s administration of the fatal police shooting of Breonna Taylor.
There are several ongoing criminal investigations into the shooting, including the Louisville Metro Police Department’s internal probe, which is being reviewed by the state attorney general’s office.
She said Fischer already has authorized a thorough review of the police department and a separate investigation of actions related to the Taylor case.
Fischer fired the former police chief earlier this month after officers failed to turn on body cameras during a shooting amid the protests.
Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman, was killed in her Louisville apartment March 13 by plainclothes detectives who were serving a no-knock warrant in a drug investigation.
