Year	Description	Outcome
2024	In June 2024, the City of Duluth, Minnesota, agreed to pay $600,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by Jared Fyle, who was shot by a police officer in September 2020. According to the lawsuit, Duluth Police officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance call did not identify themselves or provide any warning before Officer Tyler Leibfried fired six shots through a closed door, one of which struck Fyle in the shoulder. Officers then allegedly failed to inform paramedics or Fyle himself about who had shot him. Police did not find any guns or ammunition in Fyle’s apartment. Leibfried was charged but later acquitted in the shooting. Fyle’s lawsuit alleged that police violated his Fourth Amendment rights and that the City failed to properly train Leibfried on use-of-force protocols.
