Louisiana officials have agreed to a tentative $4.8 million settlement with the family of Ronald Greene, a Black motorist who died during a violent roadside arrest. The incident involved five white officers and has drawn national attention.
The agreement was reported by sources familiar with the negotiations. Details of the settlement have not been finalized, but the family’s attorney confirmed ongoing discussions.
Greene died after a confrontation with officers following a traffic stop in 2019. The case has prompted calls for police reform and increased scrutiny of law enforcement practices in Louisiana.
