A Year After Breonna Taylor's Killing, Family Says There's 'No Accountability'
Before Breonna Taylor's name became synonymous with police violence against Black Americans, she was an emergency medical technician in Louisville, Ky.
The 26-year-old Black woman's friends and family say she was beloved, and relished the opportunity to brighten someone else's day.
Exactly one year ago, Louisville police gunned her down in her home. Now, her name is a ubiquitous rallying cry at protests calling for police reforms, and her supporters point to her story as an example of how difficult it can be to hold police accountable for violent acts.
The Louisville incident unfolded during a botched narcotics raid, when officers forced their way into her apartment in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020. Taylor was not the target of the raid and the suspect police were searching for was not at Taylor's home.
A year after Taylor's death, none of the officers who fired their service weapons â a total of 32 rounds â face criminal charges
