Beyoncé seeks justice for Breonna Taylor in open letter to Kentucky attorney general: 'Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers'

However, Beyoncé wrote, “While ‘Breonna’s Law passed in Louisville and federal legislation has been introduced that will also ban no-knock warrants, these small steps in the right direction are painful reminders that there has still been no justice for Breonna Taylor or her family. “

In the letter, Beyoncé calls on Cameron to criminally charge Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove, and Brett Hankison — the three officers involved in the fatal shooting — as well as investigate the LMPD’s response to Taylor’s death. Beyoncé also asked for Cameron to “commit to transparency in the investigation and prosecution of these officers’ criminal conduct.”

“Your office has both the power and the responsibility to bring justice to Breonna Taylor, and demonstrate the value of a Black woman’s life,” the singer added. “Don’t let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy. With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: the death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it. This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next months cannot look like the last three.”
