Taylor, a Black woman, was shot and killed by Louisville, Kentucky, police officers in March 2020 after they used a no-knock warrant at her home. Her death sparked racial justice protests over the treatment of people of color by police.

Brett Hankison is the only officer who fired into Taylor's apartment to be charged and convicted of any crime.

One of the ex-police officers who blindly shot into Breonna Taylor’s home during a botched “no-knock” raid in 2020 has been sentenced.

Former Louisville Metro Police detective Brett Hankison, who was found guilty of violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights when he shot into her apartment in a 2020 raid that left the 26-year-old dead, has been sentenced to 33 months in prison.

A federal judge has sentenced an ex-Kentucky police officer to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during the 2020 deadly Breonna Taylor raid, declining a U.S.

Prosecutors said the former Louisville police detective fired through a window and a sliding glass door in the botched raid that killed Taylor.

A federal judge on Monday sentenced former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison to nearly three years in prison for using excessive force during the deadly Breonna Taylor raid, directly rejecting the U.S. Department of Justice's recommendation of no prison time.

The Trump Justice Department had sought a sentence of one day, telling the court that Brett Hankison shouldn’t have been prosecuted for his role in Breonna Taylor’s death.
