The family of Tamon Robinson, who was killed two years ago by a patrol car at a housing project in Canarsie, Brooklyn, has reached a $2 million wrongful-death settlement with New York City.

Scott Rynecki, a lawyer for Mr. Robinson’s family, described the amount as “fair” as he announced the settlement on Friday. Still, the family wants the Brooklyn district attorney to bring a criminal case against the police officers who were driving the car, its lawyers said.

“I would hope they can do a thorough investigation,” Mr. Robinson’s mother, Laverne Dobbinson, said. “Money cannot do it. For me, my son is still gone.”

Mr. Robinson, 27, a cashier at a Connecticut Muffin store in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, had a side business selling construction debris to scrap dealers. He had been arrested several times for illegally digging up cobblestones, including one arrest that led to a 15-day jail sentence.
