A court ruled BIA officer's fatal 2017 shooting of Ryan Gipp on Standing Rock was justified, ending the family's lawsuit.
A federal appeals court ruled that BIA officer Raymond Webb’s use of deadly force—firing 17 shots at Ryan Gipp during a 2017 traffic stop on the Standing Rock Reservation—was reasonable, absolving the U.S. government of liability.
The 8th Circuit found Gipp’s behavior had escalated into a dangerous threat, justifying Webb’s actions.
Gipp’s family, including his partner Corrine Kopp, disputes this, saying he was fearful of law enforcement and trying to de-escalate, with past incidents showing his anxiety around police.
CDC data indicates Native Americans and Alaska Natives are more than five times as likely to die in law enforcement encounters compared to white Americans, reflecting broader systemic concerns.
The ruling ends the family’s legal pursuit for accountability, despite their ongoing calls for justice.
