Civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump is the latest addition to the legal team representing the family of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black EMT worker who was shot eight times by Louisville Metro Police officers in her own apartment, according to USA Today.
The Taylor family hired Crump, a Tallahassee, Florida-based attorney who is known for his involvement in high-profile cases of black Americans who were killed in controversial shootings, including Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice.
“We stand with the family of this young woman in demanding answers from the Louisville Police Department,” Crump said.
Crump, who called Taylor’s death “inexcusable” said no one from Louisville police has been held accountable for her death.
