OAKLAND -- The mother of Oscar Grant III will receive $1.3 million from BART in a settlement agreement that ends, in part, a federal civil rights lawsuit filed against the transit agency after one of its officers killed Grant, an attorney representing Grant's mother said Tuesday.

The settlement between BART and Wanda Johnson follows a $1.5 million payment the transit agency made to Oscar Grant's 5-year-old daughter last year.

"My heart still grieves for my son," Johnson said at a news conference late Tuesday afternoon. "No amount of money will ever make me satisfied."

For those who may not know, Oscar Grant was the man executed by a BART (San Fransisco Bay Area Regional Transport) cop back in 2009.
