Family of man killed by St. Paul officers awarded $3.25M

The family of a man shot and killed by St. Paul police in 2017 has been awarded $3.25 million after a federal civil retrial.

29-year-old Cordale Handy was killed by two officers — neither of whom were criminally charged.

In 2023, a jury found the city and one of the officers liable for Handy’s death and awarded the family $11.5 million. However, last February, a judge ruled that the amount was excessive and reduced it to $2.5 million.
