Submitted by Re'Neisha Stevenson on Thu, 10/27/2022 - 11:40

Suspect ran from traffic stop, dropped gun, officer shot and killed him; whether officer saw him drop gun and whether officer reasonably believed decedent took a firing position were material factual issues that compelled denial of qualified immunity; on plaintiff’s version of facts, officer violated clearly established law by using deadly force against fleeing suspect who did not pose significant threat of death or serious physical injury.
