A San Francisco Bay area transit agency Tuesday agreed to pay $1.3 million to the mother of a 22-year-old unarmed black man who was fatally shot by a white transit officer in 2009.

This is the second settlement that BART has reached with the Grant family. The agency agreed to pay $1.5 million to the mother of Grant’s 6-year-old daughter last year.
