An investigation was launched this week into Louisville, Ky., Mayor Greg Fischer's handling of the death of Breonna Taylor and surrounding protests as no charges have been filed against the officers involved in her shooting. 

The Government Oversight and Audit Committee (GOA) of the Louisville Metro Council voted this week to launch the investigation into the "actions and inaction regarding the death of Breonna Taylor, the death of David McAtee, and law enforcement actions responding to protests in Louisville Metro."

Taylor was killed on March 13 after three white officers carried out a "no-knock" warrant, using a battering ram on her apartment door. The police at the time were investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs. The warrant was for a man who did not live in the building, however, and who was already in custody at the time.

Both Taylor and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker were in bed when police carried out the raid. After a brief exchange, Walker fired his gun, believing the home was being broken into, and the police fired back with some of the shots striking Taylor. 

No charges have been filed in the case though Black Lives Matter protesters have demonstrated for weeks in the city and called for action. The city has since passed Breonna's Law, which ends no-knock warrants and requires body cameras by all officers. One of the officers involved has been terminated, and the other two have been reassigned.

McAtee was a local barbecue restaurant owner who was killed in his own business after an exchange with police who were addressing protesters near his business. He had been known for sometimes feeding officers for free. 

The new investigation will probe McAtee's death as well as the use of tear gas and pepper balls on protesters and police practices in the city. The city will also assert subpoena power where needed to request documents from the mayor, the police department and others. 

Officials launched the investigation this week amid renewed scrutiny over the lack of charges for officers involved in Breonna's death and local outrage after nearly 90 people were arrested and charged with felonies just one day after being involved with protests demanding justice for Taylor.

Fischer responded to the news in an interview on MSNBC on Friday, saying he is working to increase transparency in the city and among police and is waiting for the state attorney general's investigation to conclude before taking action against officers.
