Officials in the western New York city of Rochester have agreed to pay $12m to the children of Daniel Prude, a Black man who died after police put a hood over his head and held him down for several minutes in March 2020, according to local media.
The settlement, which will go to Prude’s five children, was approved in a court document filed on Thursday. Prude’s death was among a series of high-profile deaths of Black people involving police in the US that sparked protests in recent years.
Demonstrators took to Rochester’s streets en masse after a grand jury in February of 2021 voted not to indict the officers involved.
