$150,000 settlement to the family of a man killed during a 2005 traffic stop

In Tampa, Florida, a federal judge approved the city's $150,000 settlement to the family of a man killed during a 2005 traffic stop.

U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Kovachevich said the settlement is "fair, adequate and reasonable," despite disagreements among Musa Yazid's relatives as to how the money is being divided.

The settlement also includes a provision that Police Chief Stephen Hogue write a letter to the family that will be "at least an acknowledgement, if not apologizing for the conduct of the officers that night," said Chad Pilon, an attorney for the family. That aspect was not subject to the judge's approval.

Yazid was pulled over for a traffic violation May 19, 2005, and police said the stop went awry after he gave a false name. They said there was a struggle and two officers, David Joyner and Jason Brocato, used stun guns to try to control Yazid.

Yazid, of Tampa, got back in his car and tried to drive off, police said. When his car headed toward one of the officers, they shot Yazid.

The lawsuit, filed in 2007, alleged police tried to take Yazid into custody with "no information or probable cause to believe Yazid was dangerous, violent or a threat to anyone."

Yazid questioned and argued with the officers, the lawsuit states, but was gathering his belongings to prepare to leave his vehicle.
