McClain died after police in the Denver suburb stopped him on the street and put him in a neckhold.
DENVER — The Denver suburb of Aurora has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the parents of Elijah McClain, a Black man who died after suburban Denver policetwo years ago, the city and a family attorney have announced.
The local prosecutor declined to file charges against the three officers who confronted McClain, partly because an autopsy could not determine exactly how he died. However, a grand jury indictedAdvertisement Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson added in the release: “There is nothing that can rectify the loss of Elijah McClain and the suffering his loved ones have endured. I am committed to learning from this tragedy.”
An outside investigation commissioned by the city faulted the police probe into McClain’s arrest for not pressing for answers about how officers treated him. It found there was no evidence justifying officers’ decision to stop McClain, who had been reported as suspicious because he was wearing a ski mask as he walked down the street waving his hands. He had not been accused of breaking any law.One of the three officers who arrested McClain was fired last year, but not for stopping him.
