Video from the incident shows a man who seems confused by an officer’s abrupt and shouted orders, which quickly escalate into a physical altercation
Patrick Lyoya Photo: Grand Rapids Police Department On April 4, a police officer in Grand Rapids, Michigan, shot and killed a Black man named Patrick Lyoya during a traffic stop, having pulled him over because of his vehicle’s allegedly improper registration. Police have not disclosed the officer’s name, though according to the New York Times, his Taser and gun were the only weapons discovered at the crime scene, meaning 26-year-old Lyoya was unarmed. .
What happened when police stopped him? Lyoya died just after 8 a.m. on April 4, after an approximately two-and-a-half-minute scuffle with the officer who pulled him over. A passenger was riding with Lyoya at the time and filmed part of the incident that followed. Police said his plates weren’t registered to his car and that a struggle ensued when he ran away from the officer. During the course of their fight, the department said, the officer shot Lyoya.
Footage from an across-the-street neighbor’s doorbell camera shows that, with Lyoya on the ground, the officer climbed on top of him and shouted repeatedly at him to “Let go of the Taser.” Video recorded by Lyoya’s passenger rounds out the picture: Sprawled on top of Lyoya, the officer shoots him in the head, seemingly while forcing him down by the neck.
