The Family of a Man Killed by a California Deputy Agrees to a $4.5 Million Settlement

A California county agreed to pay $4.5 million to the family of a mentally ill homeless man who was killed by a sheriff’s deputy in a 30-second confrontation.

The lawsuit settlement, reported Thursday by the Bay Area News Group, involves the March 2021 shooting of Tyrell Wilson in Danville in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Wilson refused to drop a knife he was holding but didn’t approach the deputy before he was shot in the face, according to body camera footage released by the Sheriff’s Department.
