Kenneth Walker announced Tuesday he’s suing the city of Louisville, its police and others.
Kenneth Walker sues police
The boyfriend of Breonna Taylor who allegedly opened fire at the officers who shot and killed her, wants immunity against his actions that night under Kentucky’s “stand your ground” law, reports ABC News.
Walker, 27, a licensed gun owner, was initially charged with attempted murder and assault following the March 13 incident, but those charges were dropped.
Kentucky’s attorney general and the FBI are still investigating Taylor’s shooting, and Walker said the suit would prevent officials from re-arresting and charging him for any crime related to the incident.
The couple was asleep when the officers tried to break down the door to execute a no knock search warrant, which prompted Walker to get his licensed gun and fire at the door, according to the lawsuit.
Louisville Metro police then returned fire, killing Taylor, 26, an EMT, in her sleep.
No drugs were found in the residence, police said.
An officer was struck in the leg during the incident, according to authorities.
Walker was immediately arrested after the shooting and released into home confinement less than two weeks later due to COVID concerns in the jail.
Charges dropped
In May, Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine announced the charges against Walker were dropped as the FBI and state attorney general investigated the shooting.
Walker’s attorney, Steve Romines, said
his client has never been in trouble with the law before and had a legal right to own the gun.
The suit contends the state’s “stand your ground” law “protects all Kentuckians who seek to protect themselves or loved ones in self-defense.”
