Overview
- The agreement would resolve the wrongful-death suit over the Jan. 28 shooting of 16-year-old Konoa Wilson outside Santa Fe Depot.
- Payment would total $5 million from the city and $25 million from a pooled public liability fund covering multiple municipalities.
- The settlement covers Officer Daniel Gold II and the city, with documents stating it is not an admission of liability.
- Surveillance and body-camera video show Gold firing into Wilson’s back within seconds as Wilson fled other gunfire, and identifying himself only after shooting; a gun was later found concealed on Wilson but was not brandished in the footage.
- Prosecutors continue an independent criminal review, and Gold is assigned to an administrative role; attorneys note the $30 million figure is among the largest payouts tied to a police killing, exceeding Minneapolis’s $27 million for George Floyd.
