The U.S. Supreme Court is set to consider on Wednesday a woman's civil rights lawsuit over the fatal police shooting of her son during a traffic stop in Houston in a case that could make it easier to hold officers accountable for using excessive force.

A man in his late-20s is dead after he was shot by his older brother during an argument in northwest Houston, according to Houston police.

A Houston police officer shot a man after officers said he turned toward them while holding a gun following a hit-and-run early Sunday in west Houston.

Houston police report one suspect has been arrested and they are looking to identify the second in connection with a shooting on MLK Boulevard in December.

Ashtian Barnes, an unarmed Black man, was killed by an officer in 2016 after being pulled over outside Houston while driving his girlfriend’s rental car, which had unpaid toll fees.

Houston police arrested nine people in connection with firing guns on New Year’s Eve and responded to nearly 300 gunfire calls, a stark drop from the 680 calls a year ago.

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared inclined on Wednesday to revive a Texas woman's civil rights lawsuit against the Houston police officer who fatally shot her son during a traffic stop in a case that could make it easier for plaintiffs to show that police unlawfully used excessive force.
