Prude's death sparked dozens of nightly protests in the city in September 2020.
Rochester did not have to admit liability for Prude's deathnearly six months after Prude's death, when body camera video of his encounter with police was released.The video showed police officers putting a hood over the 41-year-old's head and holding his face to the pavement for two minutes. He then fell unconscious and was taken to a hospital, where he was declared brain-dead and was taken off life support around a week later.
"Given the costs of continued litigation, this settlement was the best decision. It would have cost taxpayers even more to litigate, and would have placed a painful toll on our community," Evans added. "It is now time to look forward so we may work together and focus our efforts on Rochester’s future."
