"On the night of Jan. 28, Wilson, 16, ran away from an individual who began shooting at him at the station's west platform, according to surveillance footage. Daniel Gold, a two-year police officer with the San Diego Police Department at the time, and his partner were responding to another incident in the area when the shooting began. Wilson ran down a corridor exiting the station on Kettner Boulevard when he ran into Gold, who was jogging toward the sound of shots."
""I've never seen a city take responsibility so quickly," Rowley said. "It's really noble. It really is. It was an officer out there trying to keep people safe. It was a mistake.""
San Diego plans a $30 million settlement with the family of 16-year-old Konoa Wilson after a police officer shot him at the Santa Fe Depot. The settlement could exceed the $27 million Minneapolis payout related to George Floyd. The shooting occurred Jan. 28 while Wilson ran from someone who began firing at him on the station platform. Officer Daniel Gold, a two-year department member, fired two shots before announcing himself as police, according to body camera footage. A handgun was found on Wilson; it was not fired or pointed at officers. Wilson later died at a hospital.
