Breonna Taylor shooting: City of Louisville settles with family

“Louisville’s metro government is expected to announce a “substantial” financial settlement Tuesday with the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old Black woman fatally shot by police in her apartment six months ago, The Courier Journal has learned.

The settlement … is expected to dwarf the biggest payout previously made by police,…$8.5 million to Edwin Chandler in 2012, who was wrongfully imprisoned for more than nine years.”…

In addition to the payment, the deal is expected to include several policing reforms, including a requirement that commanders approve all search warrants before they go to a judge.”
