Fagon v. Kiely

No. 23-7987 (2d Cir.)

In short

In a shocking display of violence and brutality, five New Britain police officers shot 28 rounds at a young Black man as he was trying to flee arrest in a car. Two rounds hit him in the head and neck and he died. We represent his mother, who sued on behalf of his estate. The district court denied the officers' request for qualified immunity, but they took an immediate appeal to the Second Circuit. We’re asking it to affirm the district court and send this case back for trial.
