Kenneth Walker cannot face further charges for shooting at police during botched raid that ended Taylor’s life. Authorities dropped charges on Monday against the man Breonna Taylor was seeing at the time of her death, Kenneth Walker, that stemmed from the botched raid that killed Taylor. Walker was charged with assault and attempted murder for firing at members of the Louisville Metro Police Department who entered Taylor’s home around 1am local time on March 13, 2020, in the botched raid that saw her fatally shot. Jefferson Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine previously dismissed the charges against Walker in May 2020, but without prejudice, saying more investigation was needed.
