Breonna was shot dead at her home by police on March 13.
A lawsuit filed by her family revealed that her murder was a result of a botched drug warrant after cops were believed to be looking for Breonna’s ex, Jamarcus Glover.
A petition has since been launched demanding charges be brought against the officers responsible for Breonna’s death.
It demands that they be charged and arrested as well as have their pensions revoked.
