A portion of the settlement will put in a trust for Reynolds’ daughter education.

Pilando’s mother, Valerie Castile, was awarded $2.995 million in a wrongful death settlement against the city of St. Anthony a few months prior to this new settlement.

The death of Philando sparked outrage and protest with the #blacklivesmatter movement through out the country.
