Family of Herman Whitfield Reaches Settlement in Wrongful Death Lawsuit
The Whitfield family has settled a lawsuit against the city of Indianapolis and six police officers over Herman Whitfields death in custody in April 2022. Gladys Whitfield called for help during her sons mental health crisis, but officers restrained him face down after using a taser, leading to his death. The coroner ruled it a homicide, and two officers were acquitted in a trial last year. The family sued and received a $3.7 million payout, though the city admits no wrongdoing. The family is satisfied but heartbroken, hoping the settlement leads to changes preventing similar tragedies.
