For some backstory on Taylor's death, just after midnight on March 13th, according to the @NYtimes, a division of the Louisville Police Department burst into Taylor’s apartment while she was asleep during a late night drug investigation using a controversial no-knock warrant. Her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, who has said he was worried someone was breaking into the apartment, shot and wounded an officer. The officers then returned fire and shot Taylor at least eight times in her own home.
_______________
None of the officers in her case have been arrested or fired, though the F.B.I. is currently investigating the case.
_______________
Born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the 26-year-old Taylor was the daughter of Tamika Palmer and Troy Herrod. She graduated from Western High School and went on to study at the University of Kentucky. She was an emergency medical technician and was working at University of Louisville Healthat when she was murdered. May her sweet soul rest in peace.

"In my culture when you send somone home, you do it right," said suit-wearing attendees Stephen Locket in an interview with the @washingtonpost. The idea to wear suits was spurred by @brandonmurphyco, a Harlem-based designer.
