The city has already paid $4.5 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit:
Dante Servin has said he feared for his life after he saw a man point a gun at him not far from his West Side home near Douglas Park early on the morning of March 21, 2012.
Prosecutors: Detective was 'reckless' in fatal off-duty shooting Steve Schmadeke, Stacy St. Clair and Jeremy Gorner But Cook County prosecutors alleged Servin acted recklessly by opening fire over his left shoulder from inside his car into an alley occupied by at least four people. Rekia Boyd, a woman in the group, was fatally shot in the back of the head, and the intended target was holding a cellphone, authorities said.
