Taylor was killed by Louisville Metro Police in her apartment on Mar. 13. Reportedly, Taylor who worked as an emergency medical technician was murdered in front of her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker. The couple was in their home together at the time but the police entered the wrong address to raid.
Apparently, the person the police were looking was already been arrested and taken into police custody. Walker revealed that police shot Taylor eight times. One of the officers involved in the killing was shot after several months the incident took place.
However, none of the police officials who murdered Taylor was charged or arrested by the law. Williams shared video clips and pictures of the incident on his social media and said "say her name" in the caption with the hashtag of #BreonnaTaylor.

Williams opened up with reporter Nischelle Turner a couple of months back and spoke about ongoing protest for George Floyd's killing. "The message that we have is not going to die, it's not. George Floyd will not have died in vain. Breonna Taylor will not have died in vain, and the other people who have been victims of police brutality will not have died in vain," she said.
Floyd was a Black man who had no firearm at the time of the arrest. One of the police officers kept his knee on his neck and kept pressing for several minutes until he passed away. The entire incident was recorded and circulated on the internet that encouraged people to learn about racial justice and protest started amid pandemic.
