Judge Dismisses Charges Against Breonna Taylor’s Boyfriend Kenneth Walker

Kentucky Attorney General Releases Breonna Taylor Grand Jury Tapes

According to USA Today, charges have been permanently dropped against Breonna Taylor's boyfriend Kenneth Walker for shooting an officer the night she was killed.

Walker was initially charged with assault and attempted murder in the March 13, 2020, incident. However, Walker said that he did not hear the officers announce themselves and believed he was being robbed, which is why he fired a shot that struck an officer in the leg.

Walker’s attorney said he “acted in self-defense and that he did not know that police were on the other side of the door.”

The officer who was shot, Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, recovered from the leg wound and remains on the Louisville police department. Two other officers who fired shots at Taylor’s apartment have been dismissed from the department.
