HAYWARD, CA —The Hayward City Council agreed Tuesday to pay $3.3 million to the children of Agustin Gonsalez, settling a lawsuit from his family. Two police officers fatally shot the


29-year-old Lathrop man Nov. 15, 2018, firing 13 shots after responding to a report of a man with a knife acting erratically. An investigation revealed that Gonsalez was holding a razor


blade. No criminal charges were brought against the officers. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing, according to a press release issued by the city, which called it "a means


of helping to support and meet the economic needs of two children who tragically lost their father." The shooting prompted the council to establish a new policy to refer all such


incidents to the state attorney general for review and to the county district attorney for investigation. The case — and other examples of police force around the country — also prompted the


city to launch a program of community discussions, called Policy Innovation Workshops on Community Safety in Hayward. More information about the program is available online. _Copyright 2021
