Officials in Louisville, Kentucky have agreed to pay $US12m to the family of Breonna Taylor, a black woman who was killed in her home by Police.

Taylor was 26 when she was shot at least five times on 13 March during a mistaken drug raid.

Her name has featured prominently in anti-racism protests in recent months.

Lonita Baker, a lawyer for Taylor's family, called the settlement just one "layer" in the effort to seek justice and praised new police reforms.

In a short statement, Taylor's mother Tamika Palmer called for criminal charges against the officers and asked people to continue to say her daughter's name publicly in advocacy for Police reforms.
