Settlements
Year Description Outcome
2024

In February 2024, the City of San Bernardino, California, agreed to pay $4 million to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the family of Rob Marquise Adams, who was fatally shot by police in July 2022.

The shooting, captured on surveillance footage, occurred when officers in an unmarked vehicle approached Adams in a parking lot. Police claimed that Adams was armed and failed to comply with verbal commands before running toward parked cars. Attorneys for the family argued that Adams posed no threat, but police shot Adams six times in the back, killing him. While the City did not admit wrongdoing, it cited the financial and legal risks of going to trial as the basis for the settlement. Following the settlement, the family vowed to pursue criminal charges against the officers.
