The city is poised to pay $2 million to the family of 17-year-old Quanice Hayes, a suspect in an armed robbery and attempted carjacking who Portland police shot and killed four years ago, under a settlement reached in a federal civil rights lawsuit.
Hayes’ lawyers argued that Hayes was not a threat when killed on Feb. 9, 2017, but on his knees unarmed and moving forward in an attempt to lie prone on the ground in response to commands from some officers.
The suit contends police acted unreasonably with excessive force when Officer Andrew Hearst shot Hayes three times with an AR-15 rifle after police confronted Hayes outside a Northeast Portland home.
