Yesterday, the attorney representing Stewart's family filed an appeal challenging a judge's decision last month to drop the city of Memphis as a defendant in a federal civil lawsuit.
The filing came the same day the federal civil trial against now former MPD Officer Connor Schilling was supposed to begin. But it won't start for at least another year, while the legal challenge involving the city of Memphis plays out.
Schilling shot and killed the 19-year-old Stewart in Hickory Hill in 2015. Stewart was a passenger in the car and police said he had an out of state warrant. When Schilling tried to put him into handcuffs, Stewart kicked the door and attacked the officer, before the deadly shots were fired.
Arguments on the latest appeal aren't expected until the fall.
