There’s no question about how Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Congolese immigrant, was killed. Lyoya was fatally shot in the back of the head while on the ground by a Michigan police officer, who was subsequently charged with second-degree murder.

Three former colleagues of Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr defended his actions during a traffic stop that led to Patrick Lyoya's death.

Moments after the prosecution rested its case, the defense requested to have the trial dismissed entirely. This request was based on testimony from two out-of-state witnesses for the prosecution, who spoke about former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr’s use of force during his deadly confrontation with Patrick Lyoya.
