Borders referenced Taylor's shooting in her post, suggesting that it was Hankison's involvement in that which prompted her to come forward.on June 4, writing that in early fall 2019, she was walking home from a bar intoxicated. She said a police officer pulled up next to her and offered her a ride home.
As soon as he pulled up to her apartment building, she said, she got out of the car and ran to the back. Hankison, who the police spokesman said has been an officer for 17 years, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. The Louisville police officers' union, which is representing Hankison, also did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.
The fatal shooting occurred after plainclothes officers arrived at Taylor's apartment after midnight on March 13 to serve a no-knock warrant in a drug case.
