New York City Pays More Than $7 Million In Sean Bell Civil Suit Settlement

Bell was shot and killed by undercover police officers outside a nightclub in Jamaica, Queens in November 2006.

Two of his friends, Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield, were also shot.

Under the settlement, Bell's estate will receive $3.25 million.

Guzman will receive $3 million and Benefield will receive $900,000.

Bell's fiancee, Nicole Bell, says the settlement is fair but of little comfort.

"No amount of money can provide closure for losing Sean. There is no amount of money that can equal the pain that my family and his family Mr. and Mrs. Bell have felt," Bell said.

"It's a monetary settlement like I don't think a black or Hispanic man is worth much in New York City and it's a matter of time before this happens again," Guzman said.
