Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2022	The family of Jemel Roberson, a security guard who was killed by a police officer in 2018, settled a lawsuit with the Village of Midlothian, Illinois, for $7.5 million in 2022. Roberson was on duty as a security guard at a lounge when a fight broke out that resulted in shots being fired. Roberson was holding down the gunman in the parking lot, with his own weapon aimed at the gunman, when Officer Ian Covey arrived at the scene. Covey claimed that Roberson was not clearly identified as a security guard, and he ordered Roberson to drop his weapon. Covey then shot and killed Roberson. Multiple witnesses at the scene disputed Covey’s account and said that Roberson was wearing both a hat and a shirt that identified him as a security guard. The Roberson family fought for charges against Covey, but the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said there was not enough evidence. The $7.5 million went to Roberson’s young daughter, whom he never had the chance to meet.
