Brittney Gilliam, a Black woman from Colorado, has reached a $1.9 million Settlement with city officials in Aurora after her family, including her young daughters, were handcuffed and held at gunpoint by police officers who mistakenly believed the car they were driving was stolen. The incident, which occurred in 2020, sparked outrage and prompted a lawsuit claiming racial bias. The settlement comes after a state civil rights investigation found a culture of racially biased policing in Aurora. This is the latest settlement Aurora has had to pay out over police misconduct, including a $15 million settlement in the case of Elijah McClain.
