The city of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, has agreed to pay $3.25 million to the family of Daunte Wright, a Black man who was killed by police during a traffic stop last year, attorneys for his family said
The sum is part of a settlement deal the family struck with the city, which also agreed to make changes in its policing policies and training, the Wright family legal team said in a news release. "This settlement will not be finalized until agreement is also reached on substantial and meaningful non-monetary relief," the attorneys wrote in the news release.
"There is no true justice for the Wrights because Daunte is never coming home," co-counsel Jeff Storms said in the statement. "A guiding principle of our efforts was to strike a balance between holding Brooklyn Center accountable, while not undermining the financial stability of the city or limiting the services it provides."Also under the settlement, a permanent memorial for Wright will be built at the existing Daunte Wright Memorial, according to the legal team.
