Cosgrove failed to “properly identify a target” when he fired rounds into Taylor’s apartment, killing her, according to a copy of his pretermination letter obtained by The Courier Journal.
Officers were serving a narcotics warrant on March 13 when they shot Taylor, but no drugs or cash were found in her home.
The two officers who shot Taylor, according to ballistics evidence, were not charged by the grand jury, based on a presentation of the case by the office of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
