Ex-Michigan cop to face murder trial in killing of Black man
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on October 31, 2022
A former Michigan police officer who shot a Black motorist in the back of the head will stand trial for second-degree murder, a judge said Monday.
Judge Nicholas Ayoub announced his decision after hearing testimony last week and seeing video about the death of Patrick Lyoya in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
A jury will decide whether Christopher Schurr ‘s use of deadly force was necessary “after a full and fair trial,” Ayoub said.
