snip-"COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The city of Columbus, Ohio, plans to pay $1 million to the family of a woman killed by an undercover officer in August 2018, according to documents filed in Franklin County Probate Court."


snip-"Mitchell has pleaded not guilty in state court to killing Castleberry after she stabbed him in the hand during an undercover prostitution investigation. He’s also pleaded not guilty to federal charges of forcing women to have sex with him under threat of an arrest.

Castleberry was killed Aug. 23, 2018.

Mitchell’s attorneys have argued that their client acted with reasonable force because Castleberry, a sex worker, allegedly stabbed him and attempted to choke him when he revealed he was an undercover officer. Court documents said Mitchell fired at Castleberry when she attempted to escape from the back seat of an undercover police vehicle, which had safety locks that prevented her exit."
