Video footage released by the Grand Rapids Police Department shows an officer shooting Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Video footage released by the Grand Rapids Police Department shows an officer shooting Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head following a struggle.
GRPD said the deadly shooting happened on Monday, April 4, after what police described as a “lengthy struggle.” In the bodycam video, you can hear the officer ask Lyoya if he has a license. Lyoya told the officer he did and that it was in the car. Bodycam footage shows the officer using a taser on Lyoya. Lyoya appears to grab the taser and the officer tells him to let go of it. The bodycam footage also does not show the deadly shooting.
To provide context, the Kent County Sheriff’s Department is investigating an incident from March 31, 2022, where a homeowner reportedly shot and killed an intruder. That incident occurred days before this one, yet we have not received the reports from that investigation. I offer this incident to demonstrate, a thorough investigations take time, we are asking that the appropriate time be given here.
Lyoya’s family has disputed the police's account. Lyoya's family stated they believe it wasn't a traffic stop at all and that he was outside of the vehicle when the officer made contact. The family of Lyoya saw the dash camera and bodycamera video of the incident prior to the public release and has stated it shows him being shot in the back of the head.
