Baltimore’s spending board is set to consider a $345,000 payment to the parents of Elijah Gorham, the Baltimore high school football player who died last year after suffering a traumatic brain injury during a game. The payment would settle a wrongful death claim filed by the family, according to a Baltimore City Board of Estimates agenda. It will be considered during the board’s April 20 meeting. Additional information about the payment was not immediately available Wednesday afternoon.
