A judge dismissed some claims in the lawsuit over the 2024 ATF raid that killed Brian Malinowski, a THV 11 update reported. The ruling bars Malinowski’s widow from suing the individual ATF agents for damages, while other claims in the case remain active.
The ruling follows the fatal 2024 raid in which Malinowski was shot by agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives during an operation at his home. Malinowski had served as executive director of the Little Rock Airport.
The family’s lawsuit challenges how the ATF planned and carried out the raid, arguing the operation’s planning and execution are subject to legal scrutiny. Today's decision removes the widow’s ability to seek damages from the individual agents named in her complaint but does not end the litigation.
The family’s attorney said the fight against the U.S. government will continue, indicating the plaintiffs intend to pursue the remaining claims. The court and specific legal grounds for the dismissal were not detailed in the update.
The case remains pending; no trial date or additional orders were provided in the report. The update did not specify the court that issued the ruling or provide a date for further proceedings.
