The Chicago City Council is set to pay $450,000 to the family of a man who was struck and killed by a a speeding, unmarked police vehicle in 2017.
The Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee on Monday unanimously approved the settlement, which is scheduled for a final vote by the full City Council on Wednesday.
The police vehicle driven by Officer Adan Ramirez was responding to a report of shots fired in the far South Side neighborhood of Roseland. While city officials said Ramirez was toggling the car’s lights and sirens on and off, the lawsuit filed by Burris’ brother alleged that the police vehicle gave no warning before entering the intersection, said Mary Ruether, deputy corporation counsel.
In November, the City Council voted to pay $2 million to the family of Julia Lynn Callaway, who was killed in May 2018 when she was struck by a car driven by Curtis Pugh while he was being pursued by police after officers smelled marijuana coming from his car.
