Mattingly was one of several Louisville officers who executed a “no-knock” warrant on Taylor’s apartment in the early morning hours of March 13, 2020 in connection with a series of drug raids. Kenneth Walker, Taylor’s boyfriend, shot at the officers with his legally-owned firearm and struck Mattingly.
He said they did not announce themselves and was subsequently charged. The charges were later dropped.

Mattingly is still with the department.
