WASHINGTON – Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Americans "must continue to speak Breonna Taylor’s name" following the decision by a Louisville, Kentucky, grand jury not to indict any of the police officers on homicide charges involved in her March 13 shooting death.
Three officers faced prosecution in the case but only a former police detective was indicted Wednesday on felony charges of wanton endangerment after shooting into an apartment next door to Taylor, 26, an EMT who was killed in her home by police.
Former Louisville police officer Brett Hankison is facing three felony charges. Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove, two other officers involved, were not charged.

Protesters in Louisville, who have marched on the city's streets for 119 consecutive days, and supporters across the nation have demanded "justice for Breonna" and other Black Americans, such as George Floyd in Minneapolis, who have been killed by police.
