   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  20-1526
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Loken and Arnold, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. For the court's earlier opinion in the matter, see N.S. v. Kan. City Bd. of Police Comm'rs, 933 F. 3d 967 (8th Cir. 2019. On remand, the district court found there had been no constitutional violation when defendant Thompson, a Kansas City police officer, shot and killed plaintiff's decedent during a foot chase; the district court further found that plaintiff could not recover under Missouri law for wrongful death, as the officer had been, at most, negligent; even under a plaintiff-friendly version of the facts, defendant Thompson was justified in using deadly force; as a result, he did not violate a clearly established right and was entitled to qualified immunity; defendant Thompson was also entitled to official immunity on the state law claim for wrongful death, as there was no evidence he acted in bad faith or with malice; there was insufficient evidence to find the municipal defendant were liable under a deliberate-indifference theory.
