San Diego OKs largest police shooting settlement since Floyd

(The Center Square) – The San Diego City Council on Tuesday approved the largest settlement in a death related to a police action in the U.S. since George Floyd. The council voted 8-0, with one member absent, to pay a $30 million settlement in the lawsuit that Steven Lee Wilson filed against the city over the death of his 16-year-old son, Koana Wilson. Koana, who was running out of the downtown Santa Fe train station at 8:51 p.m. Jan. 28, died after being shot in the back by a San Diego police officer. The city is paying the $30 million from its Public Liability Fund, according to a city staff report. Koana was running on the west platform of the Santa Fe train station in the 1100 block of Kettner Boulevard in downtown San Diego, according to a San Diego Police Department video, which features surveillance footage showing what appears to be another juvenile firing a gun at Koana. The surveillance footage shows Koana running, and an officer's body camera shows the officer firing at Koan
