Beyonce made an impassioned appeal for justice Monday in the case of Breonna Taylor, the African American woman shot dead by plainclothes police as she slept at home, calling for criminal charges against the officers involved.
In an open letter, the singer noted that all the police involved in the March 13 shooting death remain on the Louisville, Kentucky force.
The police involved, Jonathan Mattingly, Myles Cosgrove and Brett Hankison,"must be held accountable," she said. Besides criminal charges against the officers, she urged Cameron to conduct a transparent investigation and to probe the Louisville police department's response to the killing.
