Myles Cosgrove was one of three officers who fired their guns that night in March as LMPD was serving a no-knock warrant.
He was fired in 2021 by then-interim Chief Yvette Gentry for violating department policies that night.
Investigators said he fired 16 rounds that night.
Last April, he filed a lawsuit against LMPD, its merit board and the city, saying his firing was unconstitutional. He sued to be reinstated and get back pay and benefits.
A Jefferson County Circuit Court recently found the merit board had “substantial evidence upon which to base their decision” and upheld his firing.
As for the other officers involved, Jonathan Mattingly, who was shot that night, ended up retiring from the force. Brett Hankison, who faced three wanton endangerment charges, was acquitted.
He then was charged federally for use of excessive force. The trial is expected to happen in October.
