The Louisville, Kentucky, officer who obtained the no-knock warrant in the fatal raid of the home of Breonna Taylor received a notice on Tuesday that the police department intends to fire him.

Detective Joshua Jaynes was informed that the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department intends to terminate his employment, a department spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

Jaynes still has the right to a pre-termination hearing before he is officially fired, the spokesperson said.

Jaynes had written in a sworn affidavit submitted to a Jefferson County judge that he had “verified through a U.S. Postal Inspector” that Taylor’s former boyfriend Jamarcus Glover “has been receiving packages” at Taylor’s home.

Glover had been the target of a narcotics investigation and detectives raided Taylor’s apartment in March to obtain evidence in the case. An internal investigation by the department revealed that Jaynes never spoke to a postal inspector.

Taylor was killed by police during the March 13 raid on her apartment, in which police found no drugs or money.
