The police of Grand Rapids, Chad McKersie, and a colleague, Captain David Siver, said that Schurr followed the department guideline – and generally accepted police practices – when he shot Patrick Lyoya, 26, after a traffic stop and the fight in April 2022.

Schurr, 34, is accused of shoting a second degree of second degree murder for shooting Lyoya, a 26-year-old Congolese immigrant. Schurr drove Lyoya's car in a neighborhood in the southeast side of the city because he had the wrong plate, and Lyoya, shortly after he tried to flee on foot.

Schurr caught in and there was a fight for the taser of the officer.

After a long period of discussion between the two, Lyoya was on his knees and Schurr was on him. Schurr screamed “Drop the Taser!” Before he pulled his pistol and shot Lyoya in the back of the head.

The Kent County public prosecutor organized its case on Wednesday and the Schurr defense team called Witnesses on the same day.
