Breonna Taylor , 26 , was shot and killed in her apartment during a forced-entry raid in the early hours of March 13, 2020 .

A federal judge dismissed felony charges against two former Louisville detectives who worked on the search warrant in the deadly raid on Taylor ’s home.

“There is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor 's death,” the court ruled.

Ex-detective Kelly Hannah Goodlett pleaded guilty in federal court in 2022 to conspiring to falsify an affidavit for a warrant to search Taylor ’s home and to covering up the false document by lying to investigators. Goodlett has yet to be sentenced. Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly included Ahmaud Arbery among the victims of police use of force. He was shot by civilians..
