The Louisville Metro Police Merit Board is considering an appeal by Myles Cosgrove

The Louisville Metro Police Merit Board begins to hear the case of the former Louisville Metro Police detective who was fired after he fatally shot Breonna Taylor and is now trying to win his job back. Myles Cosgrove lost his job in January for failing to “properly identify a target” when he shot 16 rounds into Taylor’s apartment in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020.

Myles Cosgrove’s termination letter cited excessive force and failure to identify a target during the March 13, 2020 attempted raid on Breonna Taylor’s home.
