Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2023	In February 2023, the Village of Richton Park, Illinois, agreed to a $12 million settlement with the family of Amir Worship, a twelve-year-old boy who was shot in the kneecap by a Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) officer during a 2019 raid. According to a federal civil rights lawsuit, Worship was sitting on the edge of his bed with his hands raised when Richton Park Police Officer Caleb Blood shot him with an assault rifle, shattering his kneecap. The SWAT team had raided the home with a narcotics search warrant for his mother’s boyfriend, who was arrested but ultimately not prosecuted. As part of the settlement, Richton Park agreed to issue a public apology and Blood agreed to issue a private apology and participate in retraining and recertification. Due to the incident, Worship had undergone five surgeries as of February 2023 and will likely need multiple knee replacements. The family continued to call for criminal charges against Blood.
