LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Four years after Breonna Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville Police, the calls for change continue. 

The death of the 26-year-old on March 13, 2020 sparked months of social justice protests in Louisville and led to major police reform. 

On Wednesday, city leaders, activists and protesters packed a room at Louisville's City Hall to mark the anniversary. 

Taylor's aunt, Bianca Austin, said, "This is exactly what we've been asking for. The community to come together to help us fight."

Metro Councilwoman Shameka Parrish-Wright honored Taylor's memory on Wednesday while highlighting work still left to do. 

"As we reflect on the last four years we must always say Breonna Taylor's name. Uplift those whose lives were cut down too soon, acknowledge the sacrifice of our dedicated community members and celebrate the victories we have won," Parrish said. 

The botched raid of Taylor's apartment happened in the middle of the night. Louisville police officers busted down her door to serve a "no-knock" search warrant related to a drug dealer who lived 10 miles away.

When police burst in, Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, fired a shot that hit Sgt. John Mattingly in the leg. Walker has said he believed the couple were being robbed.

Multiple Louisville Metro Police officers returned fire, killing Taylor. No drugs were found in her home.

"We recognize that Breanna Taylor and Kenneth Walker work are not the only victims of police abuse, corruption of power. And we honor all of those whose stories we will never hear." Parrish Wright told the crowd.

In the months and years after Taylor's death, LMPD has faced intense scrutiny from the community and the Department of Justice. The department has put major reform measures in place, and the city continues to negotiate more reform measures with the federal government.

In response, Louisville passed a ban on no-knock warrants, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear signed a bill limiting the use of the warrants statewide. 

Former state lawmaker Attica Scott said, "We had a chance to fully ban no knock warrants full ban no knock warrants with Breanna's law. But because of the games that are played in Frankfort, that didn't happen for us."

No police officers have faced charges specifically for Taylor's death.

Brett Hankison was acquitted on state wanton endangerment charges for firing his weapon into a neighboring apartment. A similar federal case ended in a mistrial last year.

LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel released a statement marking the anniversary. 

“The trauma and the devastation that occurred in 2020 due to the death of Breonna Taylor remains with us. I recognize and acknowledge the impact on the entire Louisville community. LMPD is committed to being a better department for all citizens of Louisville and we will continue our reform efforts. I will continue to pray for the Taylor family, and for everyone whose life Breonna touched.”

Parrish Wright said there is work to be done. "Four years later, no one has been held responsible for the killing of Breonna Taylor. I'm not making it up. It just has not happened the way we wanted it to happen."

This week, Republican U.S. Senator Rand Paul and and Democratic Rep. Morgan McGarvey (3rd District- Kentucky) reintroduced the "Justice for Breonna Taylor Act" in Washington. If passed, the bill would ban no-knock warrants across the country.
