Two years after Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by police, her mother met with Department of Justice officials, urging federal charges against the officers.
Two years after Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by police in her Louisville, Kentucky home, her mother met with officials at the Department of Justice, urging federal charges against the officers involved in her daughter's death.
"The most important thing is to remember that Breonna didn't deserve this," her mother, Tamika Palmer, told reporters on Monday following the meeting with Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke and attorneys in the DOJ's Civil Rights Division. "She was at home, in her own home minding her business when these people kicked in her door and murdered her."
A DOJ spokesperson confirmed to ABC News that Clarke and attorneys from the Civil Rights Division met with members of Taylor's family and attorneys, saying, "This matter is currently under investigation and we have no further comment."
Attorney Ben Crump, who represents Taylor's family, told ABC News that the meeting at the DOJ lasted for 45 minutes and officials said that they were conducting a "thorough investigation."
