Lawyers for the family of Angelo Quinto announced Wednesday they reached a $7.5 million settlement with the City of Antioch over his death.
Ryan Curry The City Council unanimously approved the settlement during a closed session meeting this week.
Quinto died days before Christmas in 2020, after being in police custody. He was experiencing a mental health emergency. After his death, his family pushed for numerous policing reforms and law changes. The biggest change came when Antioch implemented a community response team that is trained to respond and de-escalate mental health issues around the city. In the first year, the team responded to 500 calls a month and no one has died in their custody.
