14-1143 | 5th Cir. | Not Argued | Nov 9, 2015 | 8-1 | Per Curiam | OT 2015 |
Holding: The Fifth Circuit’s determination that a police officer who shot at a fleeing suspect’s car, killing him, is not entitled to qualified immunity is reversed, because existing precedent did not place the conclusion that the officer acted unreasonably “beyond debate.”
Judgment: Reversed in a per curiam opinion on November 9, 2015. Justice Scalia filed a concurring opinion. Justice Sotomayor filed a dissenting opinion.
