Beyoncé is calling on Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron to criminally charge the three police officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor in a powerful open letter.
The Grammy-winning singer demanded “swift and decisive action” for Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot in March after three plainclothes officers executed a no-knock warrant and raided her Louisville, Kentucky, home in the middle of the night.
“While ‘Breonna’s Law’ passed in Louisville and the 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,” the singer continued.
In response to Taylor’s killing, city lawmakers voted unanimously on Thursday to ban the Louisville Metro Police Department from using no-knock warrants.
The “Lion King” star concluded the letter by imploring the attorney general not to let Taylor’s killing “fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy.”
