San Diego approves $875,000 settlement in Evans case; bodycam release lawsuit continues

In September 2025, an $875,000 settlement in the Evans v. City of San Diego case was approved after an unarmed man was shot with rubber bullets and attacked by a K-9. The separate First Amendment Coalition v. City of San Diego lawsuit remains pending, alleging the city withheld body-worn camera footage required for release within 45 days under California’s SB 1421 and AB 748.
