NEW YORK (AP) - The city has agreed to pay $2 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the family of an unarmed teenager who was shot by police while atop a housing project.
The death of 19-year-old Timothy Stansbury in 2004 "was a tragedy, and we offer our condolences to the family," city lawyer Ken Sasmor said Wednesday. "We believe the settlement is in the best interests of all parties and hope it will provide some small measure of comfort."
A telephone call to the family's attorney was not immediately returned Wednesday.
