The Wichita City Council is being asked to approve a $200,000 settlement with a man shot by police on July 14, 2019. On the agenda for the council’s Tuesday’s meeting is a recommendation from the law department to settle because of the “uncertainty and risk of an adverse judgment at trial,” according to the council’s agenda. The agreed-upon settlement covers the city and officer Drake Kreifels, who shot Christian Joel Washington after a domestic disturbance. Kreifels shot three times, hitting then-26-year-old Washington once in the abdomen.
