TALLAHASSEE, FLA.—The family of a Canadian legal scholar gunned down in his Florida garage will be paid $40,000 by an agency that handles 911 calls. The Consolidated Dispatch Agency conceded that “human and technical errors” delayed authorities from showing up promptly to his home after a neighbour of Markel’s called for help. On the day of the shooting, a 911 operator did not initially alert police that Markel had been shot. Markel, a law professor at Florida State University, was shot in July 2014. Adelson and her family have denied any involvement, and she has not been charged with any crime.
