In a scene similar to many throughout the country, Humboldt residents gathered in front of the county courthouse Thursday evening to demand justice for Breonna Taylor.

The demonstration comes a day after a Kentucky grand jury opted not to charge the police officers responsible for the March 13, 2020 killing of the Black 26-year-old EMT and Louisville resident. 

After a few brief call to action on the courthouse steps, demonstrators marched down Fourth and Fifth streets in turn, taking up all lanes of traffic as they go. According to the Outpost’s Andrew Goff, on scene, they’re now parked in front of the Courthouse on Fifth. Traffic is stopped.
