– The city of Louisville, Kentucky, is expected to announce a financial settlement with the family of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black woman fatally shot by police in March, the Courier Journal reports. The “substantial” settlement will be accompanied by police reforms, including a requirement that commanders approve search warrants before they are put to a judge. Taylor, an emergency medical technician, was killed in March when Louisville police burst into her apartment using a so-called “no-knock” arrest warrant that did not require them to announce themselves. An attorney for Taylor’s family, Ben Crump, said on Twitter a “major update” in the case will be announced at 2pm ET at the Louisville mayor’s office. A spokeswoman for Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
