Settlements
We identified 1 publicly reported settlement that resulted in $2,970,000.00 in monetary compensation to victims.
| Year | Description | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 |
In February 2022, Colorado Springs agreed to pay $2.97 million to the family of De’Von Bailey, a 19-year-old who was killed by officers in 2019. Officers attempted to question Bailey in 2019 about an alleged robbery and shot him in the back as he ran away. He died as a result of those gunshots. Despite agreeing to the settlement resulting from a lawsuit brought by Bailey’s parents, the police department maintains that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. |
