Officials in Aurora, Colorado have agreed to pay $1.9 million to settle a lawsuit brought by Brittney Gilliam, her daughter, her sister and her two nieces. In 2020, the five were pulled from their SUV at gunpoint and handcuffed. Police said their computer system showed the SUV was stolen, but it was actually a motorcycle with the same Montana license plate number that was stolen. Local prosecutors called the incident “unacceptable and preventable” but declined to charge the officers.
