Settlements
Year	Description	Outcome
2023	In January 2023, the City of St. Paul, Minnesota, agreed to pay $1.3 million to the mother, grandmother, and aunt of Marcus Golden to settle their federal civil rights lawsuit filed in 2021. St. Paul Police officers approached Golden on January 14, 2015, because he had allegedly sent threatening messages to his ex-girlfriend. Officers fatally shot Golden when he reportedly drove at them at a high speed, although Golden’s family disputes that he was driving toward the officers. The incident occurred before St. Paul Police officers began wearing body cameras. The settlement also stipulated that a member of Golden’s family would be appointed to the Neighborhood Safety and Community Council. Sources Matt Sepic, "Family of man killed by St. Paul police reaches $1.3 million settlement with city", MPR News, January 13, 2023 Cole Miska, "St. Paul pays $1.3m settlement to Golden family", Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, January 24, 2023	Compensation $1,300,000.00
