Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend Kenneth Walker spoke Wednesday morning with CBS' Gayle King.
“To the world she’s just a hashtag, a picture, and all of that,” he told “CBS This Morning” co-host Gayle King. “But to me it was much more. More than a girlfriend too. I think that’s what I want the world to know the most. That was my best friend… The most important person pretty much to me on Earth. And they took her.”
Walker was in bed with Taylor when police raided the apartment and shot Taylor.
During the interview, he recounted the events that lead up to Taylor’s death.
Last month, a grand jury did not charge any of the officers directly involved in Taylor’s death.
One officer, Brett Hankison, was charged with wanton endangerment for the shots he fired that penetrated a neighbor’s wall.
When King asked Walker about what he wanted the world to know about Taylor, he responded, "she would have done anything for anybody.”
“She took care of a lot of people,” he said. “So a lot of people, they need her bad right now, including me.”
