The southeast Missouri city of Charleston agreed to pay $500,000 to settle a lawsuit involving a jail death.
The suit alleges a Missouri sheriff and others killed a Black inmate in 2017 by placing pressure on his neck after he was restrained.
The case was one of the factors that led to the NAACP issuing an advisory in 2017 warning Black people “to beware of the safety concerns with travel in Missouri.”
