Former Officer’s Trial Centers on Stun Gun Incident

The trial of former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr began this week, centering on the fatal shooting of Black motorist Patrick Lyoya, which occurred during a traffic stop in April 2022. Schurr is charged with second-degree murder, and his defense claims he acted in self-defense during a struggle over a stun gun, raising critical questions regarding the use of force by law enforcement in such tense situations.

Prosecutors assert that Schurr intentionally shot Lyoya in the back of the head, arguing this indicates a clear intent to kill. Eyewitness footage is expected to play a key role in the trial, with experts from the stun gun manufacturer set to testify that the device is designed to incapacitate rather than cause lethal harm. As the courtroom proceedings unfold, the case continues to draw attention to police practices and accountability, reflecting ongoing national conversations about race and law enforcement.
