The family of an unarmed driver who was killed by U.S. Park Police in 2017 has reached a $5 million settlement with the government in a wrongful death lawsuit.

Bijan Ghaisar was pulled over by park police on Nov. 17, 2017, after leaving the scene of a minor crash on the George Washington Memorial Parkway. U.S. Park Police officers Alejandro Amaya and Lucas Vinyard pursued Ghaisar, a 25-year-old accountant from McLean, Va, and he stopped his car, then drove away again twice. At the final stop, the officers shot the unarmed man in the head multiple times. He died ten days later.

In the wrongful death lawsuit, filed in 2019, Ghaisar’s parents alleged that the officers used “unreasonable and excessive force.” According to the suit, the case was about “the egregious, senseless, and unlawful killing of a young man by two out-of-control law enforcement officers, and racial and religious profiling by law enforcement officers.”

The family initially sought $25 million in the lawsuit. According to the settlement, which is still pending a judge’s approval, $1.25 million will go toward paying the family’s legal fees associated with the case, while $3.75 million will go to Ghaisar’s parents “for future distribution to various charities.”

Ghaisar’s parents, James and Kelly Ghaisar, have spent more than five years seeking to hold accountable the police officers who shot and killed their son. Last year, their efforts to have the officers criminally prosecuted finally hit a dead end. In April, Virginia’s newly-elected Republican attorney general, Jason Miyares, dropped the case against the officers, saying that they “acted reasonably in their use of force, and did no more than was necessary and proper to perform their lawful duties as federal officers.”

Then, in June, the U.S. Justice Department declined to reopen its investigation into the case, despite entreaties from numerous lawmakers (all Democrats).

The Trump Justice Department initially decided not to charge the officers in 2019. The department was “unable to disprove a claim of self-defense” by Amaya and Vinyard, officials said at the time.

The lawsuit described Ghaisar as a “fun-loving, gun-hating, sports-crazy young man,” who loved chicken wings, video games, and professional football. The day he was shot by police, he had lunch at his parents’ house in Fairfax County, went for a walk with his mom, and was supposed to meet his dad for dinner at 8 p.m., but never showed up.
