Maryland has reached a $400,000 agreement to settle its share of a lawsuit in the 2013 death of Tyrone West from injuries received during a traffic stop in Northeast Baltimore.

The settlement is scheduled for a vote Wednesday by the state Board of Public Works. It is part of the resolution of a federal lawsuit brought by the 44-year-old man’s family against Baltimore and Morgan State University police.

The family’s attorney, A. Dwight Pettit, said the city and state have settled but declined to elaborate until the public works board and city Board of Estimates have voted.

Mayor Catherine Pugh and her spokesman could not be reached for comment and other city officials said they were not aware of a settlement.

Legal settlements on the state board’s agenda are almost always approved, sometimes without discussion.

The settlements would resolve a case that provoked anger in Baltimore's African-American community, where it was perceived as one in a long line of cases in which a black man became the victim of excessive force in a confrontation with police.
