Alicia Keys appears in a new video campaign that calls for the officers involved in the killing of Breonna Taylor to be fired and arrested.
Launched by the group Until Freedom, the campaign is centered around a question Keys asks at the start of the video: Do you know what happened to Breonna Taylor?
After that, Taylors mother, Tamika Palmer, recounts the story of how the Louisville Metro Police Department used a no-knock warrant to enter Taylors apartment unannounced, allegedly believing the occupants were tied to an ongoing drug case. After the police entered the apartment, Taylors boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired one shot with his registered handgun, believing introducers had just barged in. In turn, the police fired approximately 20 shots, eight of which hit Taylor.

Bri was murdered by the Louisville Metro Police Department, Palmer says. And after they killed her they asked me if she had any enemies. No. Absolutely not Breonna should not be dead. Somedays I feel like I cant breathe without her. This should never happen to another family.
