NEW: Brooklyn Center to pay Daunte Wright's family $3.25 million to settle wrongful death lawsuit
"Nothing can explain or fill the emptiness in our lives without Daunte or our continued grief at the senseless way he died," said Wright's parents, Katie and Arbuey Wright, in a statement via their attorneys.
"But in his name, we will move forward, and it was important to us that his loss be used for positive change in the community, not just for a financial settlement for our family," they added. "We hope Black families, people of color, and all residents feel safer now in Brooklyn Center because of the changes the city must make to resolve our claims."Editor's note: This article has been updated with new details throughout.
