The city of Miami has settled a civil rights lawsuit with the family of a man shot and killed by a police officer in 2011.
On Thursday, Miami commissioners approved a $975,000 payout to Travis McNeil’s estate, which had already reached a $150,000 settlement with federal agencies who were participating in the operation that resulted in his death.
The Miami Police Department fired Officer Reynaldo Goyos, a seven-year veteran, after its firearm review board ruled he violated the department’s deadly force policy.
