City of Minneapolis pays $27m to George Floyd’s family

By Dayo Badmus, 

Ahead of the murder trial of George Floyd, the city of Minneapolis has paid a $27 million settlement to Floyd’s family, following a civil lawsuit over Floyd’s death in May 2020.

The settlement was confirmed during a Friday press conference in Minneapolis, led by Benjamin Crump, the high profile civil rights attorney representing Floyd’s family.

This is the largest pre-trial settlement in a Police civil rights wrongful death case in U.S. history.
