This is the largest settlement with the city since the 2012 when Edwin Chandler was paid $8.5 after being wrongly convicted and jailed for murder. 

A press conference to announce the terms of the settlement was Tuesday at Metro Hall

The settlement announcement comes as many expect a decision in Attorney General Daniel Cameron's investigation of Taylor’s shooting. The 26-year-old was killed on March 13 after police served a no-knock warrant on her South Louisville apartment. Despite the warrant, police say they announced their presence before entering Taylor’s apartment.

Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, said he did not hear an announcement, which is why he fired a shot after the apartment’s door was kicked down. That shot hit Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly in the leg, leading him and two other officers to return fire.

The public reaction to Taylor's killing was intially muted, but in late May, as protests following the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis spread across the nation, activists in Louisville took to the steets to demand justice for Taylor. They've been there ever since.
