A Michigan police officer who fatally shot a Black man in the back of the head after a tumultuous traffic stop will not face a second trial.
A judge has declared a mistrial in the case against Christopher Schurr, the former Grand Rapids police officer who shot and killed Patrick Lyoya, after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.
Five current and former police officers took the stand for the prosecution, analyzing each step toward the deadly outcome of Schurr's shooting of Lyoya April 4, 2022, two of whom wrote a report characterizing Schurr's use of deadly force as unnecessary.
"We were nonviolent, we were using our voices, and at the end of the day, there is no justice, and there is no peace."
