Baltimore spending board approves $6 million settlement to family of man killed during GTTF pursuit
BALTIMORE — The Baltimore City Board of Estimates paid out a $6 million settlement Wednesday to the family of a bystander who died during a police chase by the disgraced Gun Trace Task Force in 2010.
In April of 2010, officers Wayne Jenkins, Ryan Guinn and Sean Suiter were chasing a drug trafficking suspect when the suspects crashed into car with two citizen bystanders.
Police said 86-year-old Elbert Davis was killed in the crash, while a woman was seriously injured in Baltimore's Grove Park neighborhood.
The lawsuit was filed by Shirley Johnson, the daughter of Elbert Davis.
This places the city's total in paid out GTTF settlements at a staggering $22.2 million. There are still five pending lawsuits and two unfilled claims that could result in additional payouts.
