Officer Craig Roper shot 23-year-old Tavis Crane during a felony warrant investigation in 2017. Now, Crane's family is suing Roper.

The United States Supreme Court allowed a wrongful death lawsuit against an Arlington police officer to move forward.RELATED:The incident started with a traffic stop. Police said Crane then refused to get out of the car so that he could be arrested on a warrant out of Dallas County for felony evading arrest and a probation violation. He also had several outstanding misdemeanor warrants out of Grand Prairie.

The organization claims the only reason Crane was pulled over was because the original officer mistook a plastic candy cane for drug paraphernalia. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Court rejects qualified immunity defense in civil lawsuit against Arlington officer in fatal shooting
