Shot dead by police and Border Police. Israel Police initially claimed the driver of the car he was in had tried to run over the policemen. This claim was later retracted. Video footage broadcast by the media shows one officer shooting, apparently at the driver, who was lying on the ground wounded. The driver, who was lightly wounded by the shooting, was charged by the Jerusalem District Attorney’s Office with negligent homicide in Nimer’s death, by driving erratically under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
