The family of Patrick Lyoya, the Michigan man who was fatally shot by a Grand Rapids police officer during a traffic stop in April, file lawsuit against the now-former officer and the city of Grand Rapids.
of the encounter, including from a dashcam from the officer's car and a cellphone, showed Lyoya and Schurr struggling on the ground, with Lyoya apparently trying to take control of the officer’s stun gun. The officer ended up restraining Lyoya with a knee to his back before shooting him.
Lyoya’s killing spurred protests in Grand Rapids, with hundreds demanding justice and transparency from city and police officials. Grand Rapids has a population of about 200,000 and is 160 miles west of Detroit. "When you take driving while Black plus excessive force, you end up with Patrick Lyoya being unjustly executed by this Grand Rapids police officer," Ben Crump, an attorney for Lyoya's family said at a news conference Wednesday after the suit was filed.
Schurr was charged in June with second-degree murder, a felony offense punishable by life in prison. A judgethat he should stand trial, that enough evidence had been presented in a preliminary hearing to let a jury decide whether Schurr was justified in the killing. Cellphone video taken by a passenger in Patrick Lyoya’s car shows the moments before the fatal shooting.“Factual questions remain as to whether the defendant reasonably believed that his life was in imminent danger or that he was in imminent danger of suffering great bodily harm and that deadly force was reasonably necessary," Judge Nicholas Ayoub said.
