Cop Who Killed Breonna Taylor Files Appeal to Get His Job Back at Louisville Police Department

Myles Cosgrove, the former Louisville Metro police officer who fired 16 rounds into Breonna Taylor’s apartment, wants his job back.

An internal investigation conducted by the Louisville Metro Police Department determined that officers Cosgrove, Jonathan Mattingly, and Brett Hankison, should not have fired shots into Taylor’s apartment in the botched raid that resulted in her death.

Cosgrove was fired in January for failing to “properly identify a target,” and is now appealing the decision with the Louisville Metro Police Merit Board, in an effort to return to the force.
