The Minneapolis City Council Friday approved a $200,000 settlement with the family of Jamar Clark, who was shot and killed by police during an altercation in 2015.
The action to approve the settlement came behind closed doors after the regular city council meeting at historic Minneapolis City Hall.
Council members did not comment after the vote was taken during a meeting that lasted roughly 15 minutes.
Police were investigating a call of a woman being assaulted when the incident occurred.
Clark, 24, was unarmed, but police say they reached for their weapons during a struggle.
The police officers involved in the altercation and shooting were not charged.
The decision not to prosecute sparked a number of protests around the Twin Cities, including an occupation of the street in front of the 4th precinct headquarters that lasted several weeks.
Jamar’s family sued Minneapolis in 2017, and a settlement proposal reached earlier this year was rejected by city council.
That came several days after the city reached a $20 million settlement with the family of Justine Damond, an Australian woman who was shot and killed by an MPD officer in 2017.
The officer who fired the gun, Mohammed Noor, was convicted of third-degree murder and is serving a 12 1/2-year prison sentence.
Earlier this month, Clark family attorneys said the city offered $200,000 dollars to settle.
