   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-3001
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central   
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Partridge v. City of Benton, 929 F.3d 562 (8th Cir. 2020). There was a genuine dispute as to whether plaintiff's son pointed a gun at defendant police officer Ellison or was lowering the gun away from the officers at the instant Ellison shot him, and the district court erred in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment; the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's excessive force claim is reversed, and the dismissal of plaintiff's Monell and state-law claims is vacated. Judge Shepherd, dissenting.
