Age :26

Date : 04/04/2022
Location : Griggs Street
City : Grand Rapids
County : Kent
State : Michigan
Agency : Grand Rapids Police Department
Officer(s) : Christopher Schurr
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during traffic stop
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Patrick Lyoya, a 26-year-old Congolese immigrant and father of two, was fatally shot by Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr during a traffic stop on April 4, 2022. The incident occurred after Lyoya was pulled over for improper license plates. Upon exiting his vehicle, Lyoya attempted to flee, leading to a physical struggle with Officer Schurr. During the altercation, Schurr's body camera was deactivated, but other footage captured the confrontation. Schurr claimed that Lyoya gained control of his Taser, prompting him to use lethal force. He shot Lyoya in the back of the head while Lyoya was facedown on the ground. An autopsy revealed that Lyoya had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit and a revoked driver's license.Schurr was charged with second-degree murder and stood trial in 2025. However, the trial ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, with reports indicating that 10 out of 12 jurors favored acquittal. While Schurr's official record did not highlight significant issues, some former college teammates described him as having a strict adherence to rules and a quick temper, raising questions about his suitability for a law enforcement role. On May 22, 2025, Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker announced that Schurr would not face a retrial, citing the divided opinions within the community and the low likelihood of a different outcome.
