Officers fired beanbag rounds at Mr. Glass and used a stun gun on him. He then swung an arm on the damaged window, towards an approaching officer, and gunshots had been fired, physique digicam footage confirmed.
Two Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies, Andrew Buen and Kyle Gould, had been indicted in November in connection to the deadly capturing. Mr. Buen was charged with second-degree homicide, official misconduct and reckless endangerment. Mr. Gould was charged with criminally negligent murder and reckless endangerment. The deputies had been fired.
Underneath the phrases of the settlement introduced Tuesday, Mr. Glass’s mother and father will obtain $19 million from state and native companies, and modifications might be carried out to how cops are educated for related conditions, based on paperwork supplied by the household’s attorneys.
“It’s the most important civil rights settlement in Colorado and one of many largest within the nation,” Siddhartha Rathod, one of many attorneys for the household, mentioned on Tuesday. The settlement is $4 million greater than Elijah McClain’s household acquired in 2021. Mr. McClain, a younger Black man, died in 2019 after being restrained by the police in Aurora, Colo.
As a part of the settlement, Clear Creek County has agreed to dedicate a park to Mr. Glass and to create a devoted disaster response group by January 2025. The county’s sheriff’s workplace will practice and certify all of its patrol officers in disaster intervention.
