Breonna Taylor's boyfriend has settled two lawsuits against the city of Louisville.
He fired a shot at police as they burst through Taylor's door the night she was killed in March 2020. Attorneys for Kenneth Walker say the city of Louisville agreed to pay $2 million to settle lawsuits filed by Walker in federal and state court.
Kenneth Walker — the boyfriend of #BreonnaTaylor — has settled lawsuits with the city of Louisville for the unlawful and fatal raid on Breonna’s apartment in March of 2020. Hopefully, this settlement will give Kenneth a small measure of peace 2 years after this tragedy. 🙏🏾

Police knocked down Taylor's door the night of the deadly raid, and Walker fired a shot from a handgun, striking one of the officers. He later said he did not know the people entering were police because he did not hear them identify themselves. Walker was charged with attempted murder, but that charge was later dropped.
Last year, a Jefferson County Circuit Court judge ruled Walker could not be charged again for his actions that night.
