PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A $7 million settlement has been reached in a wrongful death lawsuit against two defunct Philadelphia nightclubs stemming from the January 2012 beating death of a Temple University graduate in the historic Old City section of the city.
Authorities said 23-year-old Kevin Kless was trying to hail a taxi and yelled at a cab that declined to stop. Police said three men in another car thought the words were directed at them and piled out of the vehicle and attacked him.
