## Resource

A $1 million settlement has been reached in the tragic case of Jayden Baez, a 20-year-old fatally shot by Florida deputies in April 2022 during a shoplifting response outside a Target. The lawsuit claimed excessive force over a minor theft of Pokémon cards and pizza, with deputies surrounding Baez’s car and him hitting a patrol vehicle before being shot. Two teens in the car were injured. His family’s attorney says the settlement, funded by a state risk fund—not taxpayer money—signals accountability and reflects positive cultural changes under current Sheriff Chris Blackmon. The hope is this outcome deters future tragedies and brings some closure to grieving families. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
