Overview
- The resolution to authorize the $30 million payment to Konoa Wilson’s family is on Tuesday’s City Council agenda after a tentative closed-session approval in September.
- City documents show $5 million would be paid directly by San Diego and $25 million by a pooled Public Liability Fund.
- Family attorneys and multiple reports say the sum ranks among the largest settlements tied to a U.S. police killing, exceeding the $27 million Minneapolis paid in the George Floyd case.
- Surveillance and body-camera video show Officer Daniel Gold firing within seconds as Wilson ran past him after fleeing earlier gunfire; a handgun was later found concealed on Wilson, with no indication in the footage that he brandished it.
- The wrongful-death suit alleges Gold fired without warning and engaged in racial violence; criminal and administrative reviews of the shooting remain underway as Gold serves in an administrative role.
