On Friday, Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Breonna's family, released further details about her death.

Crump told Essence in a : "Police just unloaded 25 to 30 rounds.

"I mean they're shooting from the front door, they're shooting from the window, they're shooting from the patio.

"They're so reckless, that they shoot a bullet into the next door neighbor's apartment where their five-year-old daughter is asleep in her room."

Crump continued: "Breonna Taylor is mutilated with bullet holes while she's in her underwear, eight bullets at least."

On the night of her death, cops were looking for suspect Jamarcus Glover, who allegedly dated two years ago.

But the man was arrested in a separate raid ten miles away on the same night officers broke into her apartment.

Breonna's boyfriend Kenneth Walker - who was not the man wanted by cops - fired one shot with his legally held weapon, claiming he thought they were burglars.

Three officers returned fire with a hail of bullets that killed front line medic Breonna.

Cops said they had seen Glover pick up a USPS package at Breonna’s home and drive to a “known drug house”.

But a Louisville postal inspector, Tony Gooden, told a local news station that Louisville police did not check with his office about Breonna’s apartment.

He said another law enforcement agency had asked his office in January to investigate for suspicious mail arriving at her home, but they concluded there were none.
