The Phoenix City Council is scheduled on Wednesday to consider another proposed settlement of a lawsuit involving the Police Department.
If approved, it would be the third such payout in less than 45 days.
The settlements would total more than $11 million combined.
The first payout was to the family of a former Somali refugee who was shot and killed by Phoenix police last year during a rock-throwing incident.
The second payout was to a man who claimed he was injured in 2020 and kept from seeking medical care by officers who knew he’d been wrongly identified as a suspect.
And, if approved, the latest payout of $650,000 would be to the family of a man who died in 2019.
The Arizona Republic reported then that he had a heart attack after officers shot him with a stun gun.
