The family of a 20-year-old rapper asleep in a car in a Taco Bell drive-thru lane in California when six officers fired 55 times into the vehicle, killing him, has reached a $5 million settlement stemming from a wrongful-death lawsuit.

Willie McCoy was shot by officers from the Vallejo Police Department on Feb. 9, 2019, after the department received a 911 call from an assistant manager about a silver Mercedes with tinted windows stopped in the drive-thru at the fast food restaurant in the city of Vallejo, about 40 miles north of San Francisco.
