Year Description Outcome
2020

Walnut Creek government officials announced a $4 million payout to a family of an individual who was shot and killed by police. Miles Hall, a Black man, was fatally shot by officers in 2019 during a mental health episode.

Hall’s family called the police the day of Miles’s death hoping that officers could help manage him safely. Hall suffered from a schizoaffective disorder. This payment settles a civil suit, but a criminal investigation is underway to determine whether the officers involved are guilty of unlawful use of force.
