City of Cleveland Agrees to Pay $6 Million to Family of Tamir Rice

The city of Cleveland has reached a settlement in the lawsuit over the killing of Tamir Rice on Monday — and it has agreed to pay the family $6 million.

via ABC News:

An order filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland said the city will pay out $3 million this year and $3 million the next. There was no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement.

Family attorney Subodh Chandra called the settlement historic but added: “The resolution is nothing to celebrate because a 12-year-old child needlessly lost his life.”

The wrongful death suit filed by his family and estate against the city and officers and dispatchers who were involved alleged police acted recklessly when they confronted the boy on Nov. 22, 2014.

Take a look at the settlement terms below.
