The city of Aurora, Colorado, has agreed to pay $15 million to settle a civil rights lawsuit brought by the family of Elijah McClain, a 23-year-old Black man who was tackled by police, placed in a chokehold and later injected with a large amount of the powerful sedative ketamine. He died several days later. At the time, McClain was walking home with an iced tea from the corner store.
