The family of James Williams, who was fatally shot by a Canton police officer on New Year’s Day 2022, has reached a proposed $3.5 million settlement with the city.
According to the family’s attorney, Bobby DiCello, the agreement is pending court approval by a federal judge.
Williams was apparently firing celebratory gunshots as a New Year’s celebration at his home on 10th street SW when he was fatally shot by Canton police officer Robert Huber.
Huber was later cleared of any wrong doing.
