MIAMI (AP) � A Black man who received a multimillion dollar
settlement after being shot and paralyzed by a Florida deputy in
2013 has died, his attorney said Thursday.

Attorney Jack Scarola told the Palm Beach Post that Dontrell
Stephens died Sunday from complications associated with his
paralysis. Scarola represented the 28-year-old man in his civil
suit against the Palm Beach County Sheriff�s Office.

Stephens had been hospitalized for three weeks before his death,
dealing with bed sores and other issues, Scarola said. He had
been left paralyzed from the waist down from the 2013 shooting.

�Dontrell had a very sad and difficult life,� Scarola said. �I
hope that as a consequence of the resolution of his case that he
had some relief. But whatever relief he had was very short-
lived.�

A federal civil jury in 2016 had awarded Stephens $22 million
after he sued, an amount Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw refused
to pay. After years of negotiations, Bradshaw had offered
Stephens $4.5 million, but the state Legislature went $1.5
million above that in 2020 and awarded a $6 million payment,
which was approved by the governor.

Deputy Adams Lin pursued Stephens, then 20, in his patrol car
after Stephens rode his bicycle across a busy road through
traffic. Videotape from Lin�s dashboard camera showed that when
Stephens saw Lin behind him as he rode into a duplex�s parking
lot, he slowed his bike and hopped off.

Lin, an Asian American, testified at the 2016 trial that he
thought Stephens was trying to run away and jumped out of his
car to cut him off. The video shows that after Stephens hopped
off his bike, he walked toward Lin. The deputy is out of sight
of the dash cam and Stephens is mostly out of sight when Lin
opens fire four seconds after Stephens jumped off the bike.
Stephens falls back into view with Lin close behind, still
firing.

Lin testified at the 2016 civil trial that Stephens put his left
hand behind his back and flashed a dark object that he thought
was a gun. The dash cam video, however, showed Stephens had his
phone in his right hand and that his left hand was empty.

Stephens� attorneys argued that Lin must have pulled his gun
almost immediately after leaving his car as he could not have
opened fire so quickly otherwise.

The jury took 3 and 1/2 hours to side with Stephens, ruling that
Lin had violated Stephens� civil rights.

Prosecutors cleared Lin of criminal wrongdoing and he remained
employed by the Palm Beach Sheriff�s Office.
