The city of Seattle has agreed to pay $3.5 million to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit filed on behalf of the family of Charleena Lyles, a pregnant mother of four who was shot and killed in her home by police in 2017.

The case was set to go to trial in February 2022, but the settlement was reached on Monday, according to a news release from the lawyers representing Lyles' family and estate. The terms of the settlement include the payment of $3.5 million and the dismissal of officers Steven McNew and Jason Anderson from the lawsuit within seven days, according to the news release. Both police officers responded to Lyles' apartment in June 2017, after Lyles, 30, called 911 to report a burglary.

"What happened to Charleena in her own home when she called for help -- was a moral outrage. May the City and our community begin the healing process."The shootingOn June 18, 2017, shortly before 9 a.m., Lyles called 911 to report a break-in and told the operator that she had been out and that when she returned her door was open and that"there's stuff missing" from her home.

Until more blacks join the police force this will not reduce...

Yeah this is the entitlement I want stopped. The police person who shoots should have to pay that money. As tax payers , we do not support this, we support due process. Police stop shooting or you pay.

I guess her laywer was broke and wanted to get paid before Christmas and accepted a low ball of $3.5 mil. This always happens when you hire broke ass lawyers to represent you.

This should go to trial... these settlements are blood money. How do you spend it? Any limitations? Who can drive a new car knowing it's because of police misconduct....it feels uncomfortable.
