Uvalde families announced today that they have settled a lawsuit with the city for $2 million, and are now suing 92 officers with Texas DPS, along with the school district and individual employees.
“For two long years, we have languished in pain and without any accountability from the law enforcement agencies and officers who allowed our families to be destroyed that day. This settlement reflects a first good faith effort by the City of Uvalde to begin rebuilding trust in the systems that failed to protect us,” Veronica Luevanos, whose daughter Jailah and nephew Jayce were killed, said in a statement.
