This NOT the officer who fired the fatal shot, according to ballistics. The officer who fired that shot got promoted to the Narcotics Division.
Myles Cosgrove was a detective with the Louisville Metro Police Department at the time of Taylor‘s killing. He was one of the three officers who fired their weapons that night.
FBI ballistic tests determined a bullet from Cosgrove‘s gun killed Taylor, according to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
Cameron said Mattingly and Cosgrove‘s shots were justified because Taylor‘s boyfriend fired at officers first.
Last year, the Louisville Metro Police Department terminated Cosgrove for use of deadly force for firing 16 rounds into Taylor‘s home and failing to activate his body camera, according to a copy of his termination letter. The Louisville police union at the time called the firing "unjustified."
A review board upheld his termination in December after several days of hearings.

John Mattingly shown in this interview
Jonathan Mattingly, a retired Louisville Metro Police Department sergeant, was one of the three officers who fired their weapons that night.
Neither Mattingly or the other officers wore body cameras, the police department said, because they were plainclothes narcotics officers.
He was the first to enter Taylor‘s apartment after officers sent the battering ram through the door and was shot in the leg, he told investigators.
The round, fired by Taylor‘s boyfriend Kenneth Walker III, severed his femoral artery. He and the two other officers returned fire.
Mattingly‘s attorney, Todd McMurtry, has defended his client‘s conduct saying the officer "was following orders of superior officers, was not involved in the planning process of the arrest, and at all times followed established police procedures."
In a mass email to the department, Mattingly defended his actions and slammed the city‘s leadership.
"I know we did the legal, moral and ethical thing that night," Mattingly wrote in the email. "It‘s sad how the good guys are demonized, and criminals are canonized."
Last year, Mattingly‘s plans to write a book about the case drew widespread criticism, leading Simon & Schuster to announce they won‘t distribute the book written by the retired police officer.
Mattingly retired from the Louisville Metro Police Department last year, the department said.
