From CBS Baltimore, where you can read the full story:

Derek Valcourt reports the mayor’s office confirms the city has reached a $6.4 million settlement with the family of Freddie Gray.

The mayor says the deal is in the best interest of the city, in part because it avoids a long legal battle in the civil court system that could end up costing taxpayers more in the long run.

The deal must still be approved with the city’s Board of Estimates at their next meeting Wednesday morning at 9.

The six Baltimore police officers charged in Freddie Gray’s death will see their court hearing this Thursday.
