Months after the police killing of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, new details have emerged about the final moments of the 26-year-old EMT's life and the police raid that brought it to a violent end, as detailed in a New York Times documentary that includes dozens of interviews and a review of more than 1,200 new photos of the crime scene.
Taylor, whom police shot five times in her own home on March 13, has since become a household name and rallying point in the national movement for racial justice.
The police officers responsible for her death have not been charged.
