Attorney Says Michael Brown Settlement Amounted to $1.5 Million

A federal judge approved a $1.5 million civil settlement in the wrongful-death lawsuit filed after 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by Ferguson, Missouri, police in 2014, a city attorney said Friday. Apollo Carey confirmed the city’s insurance company would pay the settlement amount—disclosed as a result of a St. Louis Post-Dispatch open-records request—to the Brown family “on behalf of multiple defendants.”
