Breonna Taylor: Louisville to pay $ 12 million for family shootings – BBC News

Officials in Louisville, Kentucky have agreed to pay $ 12 million (£ 9.3 million) to the family of a black woman who was killed by police at her home. Taylor was 26 years old when he was shot at least five times and killed on March 13 in a wrongful drug attack. His name has stood out in protests against racism in recent months. Lonita Baker, a lawyer for Taylor’s family, said the settlement was just a “layer” in an effort to seek justice, and praised the new police reforms. “Justice for Breonna is multi-layered,” Ms. Baker said at a news conference Tuesday with Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer. The deal is “horrible, but it’s only part of what the family expects,” including the arrest of officials involved in his death. #BBCOS #BBCOutsideSource Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog .
