Three months after plainclothes detectives serving a warrant busted into Tylor's apartment on March 13, 2020, and shot the 26-year-old Black woman to death, only one of the three officers who opened fire has lost his job.

A termination letter for Hankison released by the city’s police department Tuesday, June 23, 2020, said Hankison violated procedures by showing “extreme indifference to the value of human life” when he “wantonly and blindly” shot 10 rounds of gunfire into Taylor’s apartment in March. The letter also said Hankison violated the rule against using deadly force. (Louisville Police Department via AP, File)
