Clark County settled with a family of the driver who was killed and killed by Deputy in 2021

Clark County has reached an agreement of 3.5 million US dollars against the Jenoah Donald family, an unarmed black driver who was shot by a deputy of a sheriff in February 2021.

The MPs pulled him for a faulty rear light. His lawyers said that a deputy shot him in his head during a fight when they tried to get him out of the vehicle. Donald's family said he was in the Autism spectrum.

“Jenoah's family wanted accountability,” said Mark Lindquist, one of the lawyers who represented the family. “This comparison offers accountability and closure.”

The family lawyer Angus Lee said the settlement broadcast a broader news.

“This result honors Jenoah Donald's life and underlines a simple truth: When the officials ignore their training and fall back on unnecessary deadly violence, they will be held accountable,” said Lee. “The family's determination ensures that their history will not be forgotten.”

In a press release in which the settlement was announced, Lee and Lindquist claimed that “the deputy approach not only used unnecessary fatal violence, but that the politics and practices of Clark County were constitutionally poor.”

“We hope that the accountability obligation will lead to better training and better use of fatal violence in the future,” said Lindquist.

In 2021, five prosecutors from all over the state carried out an independent review of the case.

“The review members cannot say that the result would have been different, but it seems that Mr. Donald has ever asked to get out of the vehicle, or let him explain why the request was made,” says the review. “The command of leaving the vehicle seems to have been lawful (officer security). Mr. Donald's refusal to leave the vehicle quickly, escalated and deputy boy, who was unable to reach his Taser, drew his gun and shot Mr. Donald to protect himself and other MPs.”

The review continues: “The application of violence in this case of Deputy Boyle was carried out in” faith “.”

In a statement on Wednesday afternoon, Clark County confirmed the settlement, but claimed that “she continued to liability for this unfortunate incident”.
