The police did have a no-knock warrant, but they did decide to announce themselves. It was her boyfriend that started shooting first then the law enforcement returned fire. Yes, let's call a spade a spade, her boyfriend was the cause of her death and even tried to blame her after the fact.

Cool, so to clarify, you're asleep in bed, you hear someone smash down your front door, and you exercise your 2nd amendment right to shoot at the home invaders who are not actively saying they're police the entire time. The only people who can back up the statement that they identified themselves are the police who mysteriously can't provide body cam footage, despite body cams being available. Her boyfriend shot at armed intruders. Who then hung around while she died, without providing any aid. The purpose of a no knock warrant is to provide cause to execute people. [edit: hear vs. here]

He's in a state where that's the expected thing to do when someone breaks into your house. If we're going to say shooting at intruders is wrong, we should just get rid of the castle doctrine

The article describes how about twenty neighbors interviewed said they never heard the police announce themselves. So, if nothing else, it’s an important and open question if the police really made clear that they were the police. Also your statement is reprehensible and obviously concocted nonsense. You should feel ashamed of yourself for writing that, and, I question what your real intent is in posting such an unpleasant comment - that the woman’s boyfriend, who tried to defend her and was shot in the process of doing so, is somehow ‘responsible’ for her death. Even if he made a mistake in good faith - which is unclear - that’s a far cry from ‘responsibility’ in any legal or moral sense. Again, shame. Shame on you.
