A good afternoon.

Thank you for joining us today.

I know that many, and a lovel, and across the Commonwealth, and country have been anxiously

awaiting the completion of our investigation into the death of Miss Rihanna Taylor.

Six months after Rihanna Taylor was shot and killed by police in her Louisville apartment,

a Kentucky Grand Jury decided that none of the officers involved would be held responsible

for her death.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Daniel Cameron announced the Grand Jury decision to charge

one former officer, Brett Hankinson, with first degree, once in endangerment.

He's accused of firing into nearby apartments and endangering Taylor's neighbors.

But Attorney General Cameron said the other two officers involved, Jonathan Mattingley and

Miles Cosgrove, would not face any charges.

According to Kentucky Law, the use of force by Mattingley and Cosgrove was justified to

protect themselves.

This justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges in Miss Rihanna Taylor's death.

Twenty-six-year-old Rihanna Taylor was killed on March 13th when officers from the Louisville

Metro Police Department burst into a apartment with a batting ram during a botched drug

raid.

Police say they announced themselves, but according to a boyfriend, they didn't.

So, he fired a shot, hitting an officer in the leg.

One, officers returned fire and struck Taylor multiple times.

Taylor's family had been hoping for a minimum charge of manslaughter.
