LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
An attorney for the family of Breonna Taylor has filed a lawsuit against the Louisville Metro Police Department. The new lawsuit alleges that several officers involved with the raid at Taylor’s home the night she was murdered, had been assigned body cameras and the agency may have lied about the existence of footage.
NBC News reported, the family’s attorney, Sam Aguiar, said that he has not received body camera information that he requested from police, in the complaint. He wants a judge to order the department to release it.
The lawsuit says that many Louisville officers recorded their law enforcement activities on their body cameras. The lawsuit names officers Cosgrove, Mattingly, and Hankinson, as three out of five officers who had all been assigned cameras the night they raided Taylor’s home.
“Simply put, it would have been difficult for most of the LMPD members with body cameras and who were associated with…events at Breonna’s….to not have had their Axon body cameras activated at one point or another.”
The lawsuit stated.
