Breonna Taylor police incident report is almost blank

Louisville authorities have released the incident report about the March police-involved shooting death of Breonna Taylor — but the document is almost entirely blank, according to a new report.

The four-page document released by the Metro Police Department includes the victim’s full name, Breonna Shaquelle Taylor, the fact that she is a 26-year-old black female, as well as the time, date, case number and incident location, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported.

But strikingly, it lists her injuries as “none,” even though Taylor was shot at least eight times and died on her hallway floor in a pool of blood, attorneys for her family told the paper.

During a botched March 13 raid, three plainclothes cops barged into Taylor’s Louisville home and began firing, killing the young EMT.

The officers, Brett Hankinson, 44, Myles Cosgrove, 42, and Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly, 47, were placed on administrative leave while the department investigates their actions.

None have been criminally charged in connection with Taylor’s shooting, which is currently under investigation by the FBI.

The detective who requested the warrant, Joshua Jaynes, has also been reassigned, the department announced Wednesday, according to the Courier-Journal.

Under “charges,” the document states, “death investigation — LMPD involved,” but “no” is checked under “forced entry” even though cops used a battering ram to knock in Taylor’s apartment door, according to the report.

The narrative section of the report is conspicuously blank, aside from two words, “PIU investigation,” the Courier-Journal reported.
