Documents from the investigation of the Breonna Taylor officer-involved shooting showed the close relationship Taylor and her ex-boyfriend, convicted drug dealer Jamarcus Glover actually had.
The documents included transcripts of recorded prison phone conversations between Glover and Taylor.
The transcripts also included recorded conversations between Glover and another woman, whom he told Taylor was hold drug money for him. On August 27th, being a convicted drug trafficker, Glover was arrested on new drug charges.
Glover was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections after warrants were issued for his arrest the previous month on charges including trafficking a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
An excerpt from the leaked documents showed that back on February 14, 2020, Glover’s car was towed for a parking violation. Glover tried to file a complaint against the officer and gave Taylor’s phone number as his own.
Six days later, detectives from the Place Based Investigation (PBI) team verified through a database that Glover was using Taylor’s home address.
On February 24, 2020, the documents further verified the link between Taylor’s home and Glover:
“Detectives received Jamarcus Glover’s bank records from Chase Bank. On these bank statements, Jamarcus Glover used 3003 Springfield Drive, #4, Louisville, KY 40214 as his mailing address.”
According to reports, Glover, who, in addition to his 2015 drug trafficking conviction had several other pending drug and weapon cases against him, was named on the March 13th warrant that sent officers to Taylor’s apartment.
A man named Adrian Walker was also named on the warrant.
The leaked documents also said that mail addressed to Glover was among some of the items seized from Taylor’s apartment following the shooting.
on January 2, 2020, the PBI team saw Glover pull up to a suspected drug house in Taylor’s car. The team was conducting surveillance on that suspect drug house, which was described as a “trap house.”
The document included pictures of Taylor’s car at the scene.
The following day, January 3rd, 2020, the documents revealed a phone call transcript between Glover, who was incarcerated at the time, and Taylor. In the conversation they talk about Walker, another suspect in the case who was also the third person named on the Taylor warrant.
During the call, Glover said:
“You talk to Doug (Adrian Walker)?”
Taylor responded:
“Yeah, I did. He said he was already back at the trap.”
In a conversation a few hours later, Glover thanked Taylor for checking on him.
Taylor said:
“When you’re around I stress more. I just always be worried about you, not like you and (expletive), but just period with with police, like all kind of (expletive).”
In a separate phone call on January 3rd, 2020, the conversation ended with each telling the other that they loved each other.
Also, from January 2019 to January 2020, Glover called Taylor 26 times from prison. Another inmate also called Taylor seven times during the same time period.
Police also installed a tracking device on Glover’s red Dodge Charger and found that he visited Taylor’s home six times in January 2020. The leaked documents included pictures of Glover picking up packages at Taylor’s house.
In transcribed conversations from the morning of March 13th, hours after Taylor was killed, Glover told another woman that Taylor had $8,000 of his money.
He said:
“Bre got down like $15 grand, she had the $8 grand I gave her the other day and she picked up another $6 grand.”
He continued:
“Bre been handling all my money, she been handling my money. She been handling my (expletive) for me and cuz, it ain’t just me.”
Taylor’s family claimed that she was not still involved with Glover when she was killed and that she was an innocent victim of police brutality.
They claimed that Taylor and Glover had only maintained a “passive friendship.”
On, March 13, police were serving a “no-knock” warrant at her apartment and startled her boyfriend, who fired at police. The shot wounded an officer in the leg and prompted return fire of more than 20 rounds into the home, killing Taylor.
Records obtained by The Courier Journal show the search warrant, signed by a judge a day before Taylor’s death, includes Taylor’s address.
Audio from the internal investigation into Taylor’s death seems to show that Taylor’s boyfriend and police both confirmed that officers knocked on the door before breaking it down, according to a report by CNN.
