Louisville Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed By Breonna Taylor’s Family
According to CNN, a settlement has been reached in a civil lawsuit between the family of Breonna Taylor and the city of Louisville. Sources told WAVE 3 News that the settlement includes a significant amount of money reaching into the millions of dollars and is “expected to be one of the largest settlements following an officer-involved shooting in Louisville police history.”

No further details were shared. However, CNN reported that the mayor of Louisville is expected to announce the settlement later Tuesday in a joint press conference with the Taylor family attorneys.
As we previously reported, Taylor’s family sued the city after the 26-year-old EMT was shot and killed in her home by Louisville Metro Police officers during a no-knock warrant, executed on March 13. None of the three officers involved in the shooting have yet faced criminal repercussions in the tragic killing.
So far, for weeks it’s been said that a grand jury will eventually decide their fates. However, an announcement has still not been made about those proceedings.
We will continue to keep you updated when more details have been shared.
