US EditionSan Diego Agrees to Pay $30 Million to Family of Teen Killed by Police
San Diego's $30 million settlement for Konoa Wilson is among the largest in U.S. police killing cases, surpassing the $27 million payout in George Floyd's case, attorneys said.
- After the Jan. 28 shooting, the City of San Diego agreed to pay $30 million to Konoa Wilson's family, one of the largest police-killing settlements tied to Santa Fe Depot, downtown San Diego.
- Konoa fled after someone nearby fired at him on a train platform, and Officer Daniel Gold II responded to gunfire, firing within three seconds as Konoa ran past, according to department footage.
- Police released body-worn camera and security footage in February showing officers recovered a gun under Konoa's clothing while administering aid, and he was pronounced dead about 35 minutes later at a hospital.
- The San Diego City Council will formally consider the settlement on Tuesday, with San Diego paying $5 million and $25 million from a public liability fund; Officer Daniel Gold II remains on administrative duty as the District Attorney reviews the case.
- The amount surpasses the $27 million Minneapolis $27 million settlement in the George Floyd case, as experts like John Rappaport, University of Chicago Law School, say settlements rose post-George Floyd with no central database tracking settlements.
