Settlements
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. Source AP, "“Colorado Springs will pay $3 million to family of a Black man fatally shot by police,” ", NPR, February 09, 2022	Compensation $2,970,000.00
