Aurora, Colorado, Reaches $15M Settlement With Elijah McClain's Family

Elijah McClain's family reached a $15 million settlement with the city over a federal lawsuit following McClain's death in 2019. McClain, a 23-year-old, died after being stopped by police while walking home. The encounter turned physical, leading to McClain being placed in a chokehold and injected with a sedative, resulting in cardiac arrest. The family filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city and first responders, which was settled recently.
