The Easton family of D.J. Henry, a black college football player killed by a New York police officer in 2010, has accepted a $6 million offer from the patrolman who shot their son and his town.

“The Henrys agreed to take that offer,” family attorney Michael H. Sussman said yesterday. “The family, from the beginning, wanted to get the truth. Nothing can excuse what happened. No money can make up for the loss of their son.”

The agreement is with the village of Pleasantville, N.Y., and the police officer who shot Danroy “D.J.” Henry on Oct. 18, 2010, in Mt. Pleasant, N.Y.

Henry, 20 at the time, was shot in his car as he drove through a parking lot away from a bar as people spilled out into the street during a Homecoming Day event for Pace University. Aaron Hess, the Pleasantville officer who shot Henry, was cleared by a grand jury and did not face any federal civil rights charges.

D.J. was a junior at Pace, where he played defensive back for the Division II football team.

The case spurred charges of racial profiling, but no civil rights charges were ever brought. The officer was white.

Prosecutors said the policeman stepped in front of Henry’s car at the height of the chaos and ordered him to stop. The officer wound up on the car’s hood, where he fired the fatal shot, officials said.

The policeman made “a split (second) decision under conditions of extreme danger, conditions under which the law generally allows latitude to a police officer’s judgment,” court records state.

Sussman told the Herald Henry had a “chance of survival” after the shooting. But, he was handcuffed, “thrown on the ground” and there was a “late response” to help him.

Sussman said there is still open federal cases against Mt. Pleasant, N.Y., and “several police officers” from that town who responded that night.

He added the deal “doesn’t console anyone.” He said there’s no price on losing a child.

“Once you lose your son … there’s no answer,” Sussman added.

He added the family will continue to lean on their faith and keep working on the DJ Henry Dream Fund, set up in their son’s memory to help young adults afford to take part in sports and wellness programs.
