Salazar-Limon v. City of Houston
Certiorari Denied
Petition for certiorari denied on April 24, 2017.
Issue
Whether, when a police officer shoots an unarmed person in the back and the person testifies that he was merely walking away when shot, a court may grant summary judgment to the officer in a suit for excessive force by concluding that it is an "undisputed fact" that the person reached for his waistband just because the officer said he did.
