in 2018, police shot a Silver Lake Trader Joe's assistant manager, as they pursued a suspect who ran into the store. Last month, Los Angeles formally reached a $9.5 million settlement with the family

the $9.5 million payout is the "largest pre-trial settlement" ever paid by the city over a Los Angeles Police Department shooting.

 "We are pleased that the city has acknowledged their wrongdoing and taken responsibility for causing Mely's death," plaintiffs' attorney John Taylor said in a statement. "After six years of fighting for justice for Mely, the Corado family's persistence and demands for accountability were finally recognized."


It only took 6 years to wait out the process of the city fighting to absolve itself, and the police, of the shooting.
