Two more officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department involved in the raid that led to the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor are reportedly facing possible termination from their jobs.
Detective Joshua Jaynes, who prepared the search warrant for the raid, and Detective Myles Cosgrove, who was among the officers who shot at Taylor, received pretermination letters from Acting Police Chief Yvette Gentry on Tuesday, the officers’ attorneys told The Courier-Journal.
Neither Jaynes nor Cosgrove has yet to be officially fired, according to The Courier-Journal. Jaynes reportedly has a closed hearing with Gentry on Thursday, during which he’ll be given an opportunity to fight for his job.

The New York Times, citing Gentry’s letter to Jaynes, said the officer was facing termination for lying and violating the department’s policies on search warrants.
The contents of Cosgrove’s letter have not been made public.
It’s also unclear whether or when Cosgrove will meet with Gentry to make his case. The Louisville Metro Police Department has not responded to HuffPost’s request for comment.
