The family of Ashtian Barnes, a 24-year-old killed in a traffic stop, say officer is responsible for circumstances that made him shoot.

The justices suggested a lower court used the wrong test in deciding a Texas officer did not use unconstitutionally excessive force in fatally shooting an unarmed Black man during a 2016 traffic stop.

The Supreme Court appeared inclined on Wednesday to revive a Texas woman's civil rights lawsuit against the Houston police officer who fatally shot her son during a traffic stop in a case that could make it easier for plaintiffs to show that police unlawfully used excessive force.
