Myles Cosgrove, the Louisville police officer who Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron said fired the shot that killed Breonna Taylor, is appealing his termination.  

According to a copy of Cosgrove’s termination letter, the detective was fired in January 2021 for using deadly force after firing 16 rounds into Taylor’s home and failing to activate his body camera.

The Louisville Metro Police Department held a board notice of hearing in November. The second half of Cosgrove’s hearing began Monday and will end on Wednesday.  

The hearings revealed Cosgrove raised money on GiveSendGo, “The #1 Free Christian Fundraising Site,” to fund his retirement in September 2020.  

“Myles’ reputation has been completely dismantled and the psychological trauma is something that he will have to cope with for the rest of his life,” the fundraiser description reads.  

As of Sunday, Cosgrove has raised close to $62,000. His goal is $75,000.  

Cosgrove wasn’t the only detective fired. Joshua Jaynes, who wrote the search warrant, was also fired.  

During the time of the fatal shooting, the Louisville police union called the terminations unjustified.

“There is certainly no evidence in this case that policies and procedures of the LMPD were violated to the extent that warranted termination,” the River City Fraternal Order of Police said in a statement. “Interim Chief (Yvette) Gentry not only made the wrong decision, but also sent an ominous message to every sworn officer of the Louisville Metro Police Department.”  

Taylor, 26, was killed by the LMPD on March 13, 2020, after they executed a no-knock warrant. She was shot five times.  

None of the officers involved in her death were indicted for killing Taylor. One officer was indicted for allegedly putting her neighbor in danger when bullets entered their apartment.    

Cameron said the officers were justified for shooting into the home because Kenneth Walker II, Taylor’s boyfriend, fired a single warning shot because he thought the officers were intruders.
