One was a co-conspirator with her sometime ex; the other was the leader of the protest movement in Louisville; both incidents point up the serious problem with the murder rate in Louisville.

NOTE: Photographing one’s self with a weapon is not an admission of guilt or evidence of illegal activity. Nor is it any excuse, justification or reason why someone may have deserved to die in police custody.

LOUISVILLE — Two young men connected in some way to the Breonna Taylor case have died within four days of each other, both shot and killed in different areas of Louisville.

Adrian Walker, 28, was shot and killed in the early afternoon of Nov. 19, a mere two blocks away from the “trap house” where he and his partner, Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Jamarcus Glover stashed drugs, money and guns — a house that was raided in the same March 13 operation as was Taylor’s apartment. The place where Walker was killed is part of the most troubled area of Louisville, the West End, in the Russell neighborhood. Police reportedly do not have a suspect in the killing.
