City of Mesa reaches $8 million settlement with widow of Daniel Shaver

TL;DR

During a legal trial, Brailsford said he fired his rifle when Shaver reached toward his back as if he was pulling out a handgun.**GRAPHIC CONTENT**: The full body camera showing the moments leading up to Shaver being shot and killed can be viewed here.The detective investigating the shooting agreed during the trial that Shaver's movement was similar to reaching for a pistol, but said it also looked as though Shaver was pulling up his loose-fitting basketball shorts that had fallen down as he crawled.They will never forget Daniel’s loving legacy, nor take for granted the cherished memories of the beautiful time they spent with him.The failure and injustice of Daniel Shaver’s killing and the resulting sham criminal trial, which made a mockery of the notion of Justice predictably ended in no conviction and to this day casts an ugly shadow over this settlement."
