Family of Elijah McClain reaches settlement with Aurora, Colorado

Elijah McClain died days after a violent arrest during his walk home in August 2019.

The family of Elijah McClain has reached a settlement with the city of Aurora over his violent arrest and subsequent death, city officials said.

"The city of Aurora and the family of Elijah McClain reached a settlement agreement in principle over the summer to resolve the lawsuit filed after his tragic death in August 2019," Ryan Luby, the deputy director of Communications and Marketing for Aurora, told ABC News.

He said city leaders will sign the agreement as soon as the family completes a separate process to determine how any settlement proceeds will be divided among themselves. Until then, "the parties cannot disclose the settlement terms," but so far, no amount was discussed in the most recent hearing on Oct. 8, Luby said.

"The court will now determine allocation of the proceeds between Ms. McClain, the parent who raised Elijah McClain by herself, and LaWayne Mosley," attorneys for Elijah McClain's mother, Sheneen McClain, told ABC Denver affiliate, KMGH.
