WASHINGTON—The Supreme Court agreed on May 28 to consider whether the parents of a foreigner killed outside the country by a U.S. law enforcement officer can pursue a claim for damages against the officer.

The much-litigated case, Hernandez v. Mesa, is expected to proceed to oral arguments before the high court in the fall.
