'The [Louisville Metro Police] Department has not provided any answers regarding the facts and circumstances of how this tragedy occurred,' said attorney Benjamin Crump on Monday.
Kentucky EMT Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville, Kentucky police officers who entered her apartment with a search warrant in March. However, a wrongful death suit filed by Taylor's mother in April alleged that police had no reason to conduct the search because the suspect they were looking for had already been apprehended at a different location and placed into custody.
"Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding her death, the [Louisville Metro Police] Department has not provided any answers regarding the facts and circumstances of how this tragedy occurred, nor have they taken responsibility for her senseless killing," said family attorney Benjamin Crump in a Monday statement.
"[Police] used a battering ram to bust open her front door," Crump told NBC News Wednesday."They were calling 911 because they thought their home was being invaded." Crump said the officers were not in uniform and did not identify themselves.
