A tentative $4.8 million settlement has been reached between Louisiana state officials and the family of Ronald Greene, according to sources familiar with the agreement.
Greene, a Black man, died following a violent arrest conducted by five white state troopers during a traffic stop incident that occurred on May 10, 2019, near Monroe, Louisiana.
Body camera footage from the incident shows the confrontation that led to Greene’s death during the roadside arrest.
The settlement agreement represents the latest development in a case that has drawn significant attention regarding police conduct and accountability in Louisiana.
