Case facts: These are the people at the center of the Breonna Taylor shooting

CNN  

CNN — Crowds of protesters are chanting her name. Louisville Metropolitan Police department Jamarcus Glover was the focus of the Louisville police narcotics investigation that led plainclothes officers to execute a warrant on Taylor’s home. Police said that Glover, who was suspected of supplying a local drug house, had recently used Taylor’s residence as his “current home address,” according to an affidavit for a search warrant. The detective who wrote the affidavit said he saw Glover walk into Taylor’s apartment in mid-January and leave with a package before going to a “known drug house.” Taylor’s apartment was one of five locations police obtained search warrants for as part of the investigation. According to a news release from the attorney general, state police could not identify which officer fired the shot that killed Taylor, but FBI analysts determined it was a bullet from Cosgrove’s gun.
