The 26-year-old was shot eight times by Louisville Metro Police Department officers in March after they entered her home with a no-knock warrant, which allowed the police to enter without warning or without identifying themselves as law enforcement. The officers also weren't wearing body cams.
In the letter, the singer made three calls to action urging Cameron to bring criminal charges against the three officers, commit to transparency in the investigation and prosecution of the officers’ conduct, and to investigate the LMPD’s response to Taylor’s murder as well as the ‘pervasive practices that result in the repeated deaths of unarmed Black citizens’.
‘While “Breonna’s Law” passed in Louisville and federal legislation has been introduced that will also ban no-knock warrants, these small steps in the right direction are painful reminders that there has still been no justice for Breonna Taylor or her family,’ Beyonce began.
‘Three months have passed and the LMPD’s investigations have created more questions than answers. […] Three months have passed – and zero arrests have been made, and no officers have been fired. […] Three months have passed – and Breonna Taylor’s family still waits for justice.’
She added, ‘Don’t let this case fall into the pattern of no action after a terrible tragedy. With every death of a Black person at the hands of the police, there are two real tragedies: The death itself, and the inaction and delays that follow it.’
The musician concluded the letter: ‘This is your chance to end that pattern. Take swift and decisive action in charging the officers. The next months cannot look like the last three.’
