Officer to grand jury: No search of Breonna Taylor's home

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In grand jury testimony made public Friday, a law enforcement officer said police did not end up searching Breonna Taylor’s apartment on the day she was shot and killed by police who had arrived with a search warrant.

Police were carrying a narcotics warrant for Taylor’s Louisville apartment on March 13. They shot her after Taylor’s boyfriend fired at them.

The officer said no drugs, money or paraphernalia were found at the home but also that it was not searched.

The officers were carrying a no-knock warrant, but an officer also told the grand jury that they knocked on Taylor’s door several times and announced their presence.

Hours of grand jury proceedings were made public Friday in the case of Breonna Taylor’s fatal shooting by police, a rare release of such material.

The jury brought no criminal charges against the officers for her killing, angering many in Louisville and around the country and setting off renewed protests.

A court ruled that the content of the proceedings, typically kept secret, should be released.
