CNN
A Louisville police officer who was involved in the botched raid that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor has announced his retirement, saying that it was in the "best interest" of his family.
Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly was one of several Louisville Metro officers involved in breaking down the door to Taylor's apartment while executing a late-night "no-knock" warrant on March 13, 2020. Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker III, said after the raid that he thought the officers were intruders and fired one shot from inside the home, striking Mattingly in the leg. Police responded by firing 32 rounds, killing Taylor, a 26-year-old EMT and aspiring nurse. Mattingly said in a statement from his attorney that he hopes the city can "heal and unite" moving forward.More Related News
