shooting. The blurry footage captured Lee running away from Andersen, but it was unclear from the footage of if Lee was carrying a gun in his hand as he ran. A .380-caliber semi-automatic handgun was found next to Lee's body. The gun lacked any fingerprints or smudges. Family members of Lee disputed the police account and said the Lee was unarmed and questioned if the gun had been planted. On March 30, 2009, police documents suggested the gun had been held in police possession since 2004, when police recovered the weapon after it was reported stolen.

The family of Lee appealed the federal case to the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the jury's verdict in a ruling in August 2010. The Supreme Court of
