The Louisville Metropolitan Police Department is seeking to dismiss two officers involved in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor in March, according to reports.

Detective Joshua Jaynes, who sought a no-knock search warrant that led detectives to Taylor’s apartment received a pre-termination letter from the department, saying that he committed “extreme violations of our policies, which endangered others,” according to his attorney.
