The City of New York has agreed to pay the family of Amadou Diallo $3 million to settle a lawsuit stemming from his 1999 police killing. Diallo, an immigrant from Guinea, died on Feb. 4, 1999 when four white New York police officers fired 41 shots. He was unarmed. He was standing in the vestibule of his Bronx apartment. Police opened fire when he reached his wallet. They claimed they had mistaken the wallet to be a gun. He was 22 years old. After a trial jury acquitted the officers, the family responded by filing a civil suit against the city for tens of millions of dollars.
