Civil Litigation

San Diego City Council approved a $30 million settlement to the family of 16-year-old Konoa Wilson over a police-involved shooting, a payout larger than the $27 million Minneapolis paid George Floyd’s family. Mayor Todd Gloria called the case "heartbreaking" and pledged stronger officer tools and training, while Officer Daniel Gold remains on the force in an administrative assignment as investigators review the incident; the lawsuit alleges Gold fired without warning, SDPD says a gun was later found under Wilson’s clothing though it was not displayed before the shooting, and the family’s attorney said the settlement offers "some semblance of accountability" but not closure.
