Christian Glass was gunned down by police in June 2022, amid a mental health crisis. The parents of Christian Glass, who was killed by Colorado police in 2022, will receive $19 million in damages.
This is the highest amount of compensation of this type in the state, surpassing the $ 15 million obtained by the family of Elijah McClain in 2021. Glass had called 911 after his truck got stuck on rocks. The emergency dispatcher said she was incoherent or hallucinating. When officers arrived, Glass refused to get out of the vehicle. At that point Glass pulled out a knife and one of the officers shot him.
