The family of a man who was shot in the back as he was trying to escape a raucous nightclub has agreed to a $155,000 settlement with the American Legion post where the club was located.

Attorney fees make up 40 percent of the settlement, $62,000, and the victim’s daughter will receive 43 percent, $66,000, according to documents filed in DeKalb County State Court on Dec. 20. The remaining $27,000 will pay for funeral expenses, mediation fees and other costs.
