Myles Cosgrove, who was fired in 2021 after fatally shooting Breonna Taylor, has started working at another Kentucky law enforcement agency.
. During the raid, the officers exchanged gunfire with Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who would claim he didn’t know the men were police. During the firefight, Cosgrove fired 16 shots, including the one that killed Taylor, whose death became a rallying cry throughout the country for people demanding more scrutiny be paid to how police use force against Black Americans.
Unlike some of the other officers involved in the raid, Cosgrove was never charged, Miller said. But in January 2021 the department fired Cosgrovethat he shouldn’t have fired his weapon because, even though he had the right to protect himself after being fired upon by Walker, he couldn’t see who he was shooting at.
In November, the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council voted to let Cosgrove keep his state peace officer certification, allowing him to work other law enforcement jobs in the state, Miller said.
