The settlement was reached in November 2022, years after Shaver was shot and killed by now-former Mesa Police Officer Phillip Brailsford in 2016.
MESA, AZ — An $8 million settlement between the City of Mesa and Laney Sweet, the widow of Daniel Shaver, has been reached and funded.
Brailsford was holding Shaver at gunpoint while ordering him to crawl forward on a hotel hallway floor before the deadly shooting happened. The detective investigating the shooting agreed during the trial that Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol, but said it also looked as though Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had fallen down as he crawled. The investigator noted he didn't see anything that would have prevented officers from simply handcuffing Shaver as he was on the floor.
His beloved widow and children miss him every hour of every day. They will never forget Daniel’s loving legacy, nor take for granted the cherished memories of the beautiful time they spent with him. No words can do justice to a life unjustly cut short, and no amount of money can undo the transgressions that cruelly removed Daniel from his family’s lives forever.
