The city of Minneapolis has reached a $27 million settlement with the family of George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died at the hands of police last May.
Mr. Floyd's death after being trapped under the knee of former officer Derek Chauvin was captured on camera and sparked protests worldwide.
Attorneys for the family said the footage created undeniable demand for justice and change.
Jury selection for Mr. Chauvin's murder trial is currently underway.
Six out of 12 jurors have been selected for hearings beginning March 29.
The Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously to approve the pre-trial $27 million settlement.
