Settlement one of US’s largest and comes after officer killed Konoa Wilson, who was running from teen shooting at him
The city of San Diego has agreed to pay a $30m settlement to the family of Konoa Wilson, the 16-year-old boy fatally shot in the back by a police officer while running away after narrowly missing another shooting by an unknown third party at a train station.
The payout is the result of the wrongful death lawsuit Wilson’s family filed against the city in June, claiming the officer who shot the teen acted with “racial violence”. Wilson is half Black, family attorneys said.
