A tentative settlement has been reached in the case involving unarmed Black man Stephon Clark who was shot by Sacramento police officers in the backyard of his family's home.

The Sacramento Bee reports that a "verbal settlement" was reached between both Clark's estate and the city of Sacramento, so no future court dates will be scheduled according to minutes from the private trial. The undisclosed amount will go to Clark's children, however there's no word regarding compensation for the late 22-year-old's parents or grandparents.

Clark’s life was taken in March 2018 when authorities believed he was vandalizing vehicles nearby with a crowbar. Officers claimed he was armed, causing them to shoot the gentleman at least eight times as he attempted to flee. Turns out Clark was not armed and was simply holding his cell phone.  

His demise resulted in several protests toward Sacramento police, including one where Black Lives Matter activists crashed the wedding of one officer who was publicly identified by a civil rights attorney as one of the gentlemen who killed the young father. 

In January, Clark's family filed a $20 million wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Sacramento, seeking damages for unreasonable search and seizure, excess force and denial of emergency medical care. An initial $35 million lawsuit was filed in September 2018. 

Attorneys for Clark's estate did not provide any further comments regarding the impeding settlement, per The Sacramento Bee.
