The city of Colorado Springs, Colorado, will pay nearly $3 million to the family of De'Von Bailey, a 19-year-old Black man who was shot and killed by police in 2019.
“Nothing in this nightmare could ever make what happened to my son ok or justifiable," said Greg Bailey, De'Von Bailey's father, in a statement. "There is no amount of money that will bring him back. He was running away, and they shot him in the back like an animal. I miss De’Von every day."Story continues
Darold Killmer, an attorney for the Bailey family, said in a statement the settlement achieves a "measure of justice" for De'Von's killing, but that Colorado Springs has a long history of police brutality.A state grand jury, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office reviewed the August 2019 shooting but declined to file charges against the officers. Both still work for the city police department, Lt. Jim Sokolik told The Colorado Springs Gazette.
In another statement, the city police department said that “we want to state unequivocally that this settlement is not, in any way, an admission or indication of wrongdoing by these officers. Rather, it was a decision made to mitigate financial risk to the City and taxpayers.”
