Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2022	In August 2022, the City of Sacramento, California, agreed to pay $1.7 million to the parents of Stephon Clark, an unarmed Black man who was shot and killed by two Sacramento Police Department officers. On March 18, 2018, officers Terrence Mercadal and Jared Robinet were responding to reports of a person breaking car windows when they saw twenty-two-year-old Clark and chased him into his grandmother’s backyard. The officers, believing Clark was holding a gun that was actually a cellphone, shot at Clark twenty times and hit him with at least seven bullets. The officers were not charged with any crime. Clark’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City and the two officers. The 2022 settlement followed an earlier settlement in 2019, in which the City agreed to pay $2.4 million to Clark’s sons, then ages two and five.
