Beyonce Knowles Carter on her official website released an open letter written to Kentucky's Attorney General Daniel Cameron in order that he sues his position to bring Justice for Breonna Taylor's death.
Breonna Taylor was shot dead in her home by officers from Louisville Metro police department in March 13, 2020 in a no-knock search warrant. Her house was broken into by police officers, her boyfriend Kenneth Walker thought they were intruders and pulled put his gun, there was a fire exchange and in the process, Breonna Taylor was shot 8 times and she later died in her hallway.
Beyonce's letter reads: "Three months have passed -- and the LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answers. Their incident report states that Ms. Taylor suffered no injuries -- yet we know she was shot at least eight times. The LMPD officers claim they announced themselves before forcing their way into Ms. Taylor’s apartment -- but her boyfriend who was with her, as well as several neighbors, all say that this is untrue.
"Three months have passed -- and zero arrests have been made, and no officers have been fired. The LMPD’s investigation was turned over to your office, and yet all of the officers involved in the shooting remain employed by the LMPD. Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly and Officers Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison must be held accountable for their actions.
"Three months have passed -- and Breonna Taylor’s family still waits for justice. Ms. Taylor’s family has not been able to take time to process and grieve. Instead, they have been working tirelessly to rally the support of friends, their community, and the country to obtain justice for Breonna.
"Your office has both the power and the responsibility to bring justice to Breonna Taylor, and demonstrate the value of a Black woman’s life."
"Don’t let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy. With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: The death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next months cannot loo like the last three."
