MILWAUKEE (AP) — The city of Milwaukee will pay $2 million to the family of a man who died in the back of a police squad car in 2011.
The family of Derek Williams agreed to settle its civil lawsuit, with the money going to Williams' three children.
The 22-year-old Williams had been arrested after fleeing police investigating a suspected robbery, and a police report said an officer placed his knee on Williams' back during the arrest. Squad car video showed him handcuffed in the back of a squad car, struggling to breathe and begging for help.
No officers were charged or disciplined in the case.
