City council members unanimously approved a $1.55 million settlement with the widow of an unarmed man fatally shot by a patrol sergeant in 2016 during a meeting Thursday night with no discussion.
But it remains unclear if the city will release a still-secret report that disputes key findings in an internal affairs investigation that found Sgt. Randall French lied about his actions and what unfolded prior to his fatal shooting of a DWI suspect.
“Further document disclosure must await final approval by the City Council and completion of the settlement by the court,” said John Salka, a spokesman for the city.
