A federal appeals court on Tuesday declined to reinstate a wrongful death suit against the city of Tupelo, Mississippi, and one of its police officers in connection with the controversial 2016 shooting death of an African-American man following a chase.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit said it saw no reason to disturb a 2017 ruling by U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock of the Northern District of Mississippi to dismiss on summary judgment the lawsuit, filed by the family of Antwun “Ronnie” Shumpert Sr.
