đź’¨ Abstract

A jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict in the trial of Michigan police officer Christopher Schurr, who shot and killed Patrick Lyoya, a Black Congolese immigrant, during a 2022 traffic stop. The judge declared a mistrial, temporarily avoiding conviction. Lyoya's fatal shooting, captured on video, sparked weeks of protests in Grand Rapids. Schurr claimed he feared for his life after a struggle with Lyoya, during which Schurr lost control of his Taser.
