Transit Agency To Pay $1.3M To Oscar Grant’s Mom

OAKLAND, CA — A San Francisco Bay area transit agency Tuesday agreed to pay $1.3 million to the mother of  22-year-old unarmed Oscar Grant who was fatally shot by a white transit officer in 2009.

The settlement between Bay Area Rapid Transit and Wanda Johnson resolves a $50 million wrongful death and civil rights suit filed in federal court by Grant’s family.

“No amount of money could replace Oscar. Not one dollar or $100 million,” said Johnson during a news conference in Oakland. “My heart feels broken for the loss of my son…It didn’t have to be this way.”
