Standstill with Federal Lawsuit

Bret Pallatto for the Centre Daily Times reports:

Attorneys for the family of a State College man fatally shot three years ago by a borough police officer expressed a desire Sunday to resolve their federal lawsuit, but said the borough’s insurance company has been unwilling to engage in settlement discussions.

Sylvester and Iyun Osagie — the parents of Osaze Osagie — are eager to “bring about something good from this tragedy,” attorney Andy Shubin said. That includes “meaningful programming and meaningful resources for people with mental health challenges.”
