Grand Rapids, MI (AP) — The police shooting in Grand Rapids has a Lenawee County connection. GR police have identified Christopher Schurr as the officer who killed Patrick Lyoya three weeks ago. He grew up in the Grand Rapids area and was a pole vaulter at Siena Heights University.
Lyoya was a Black man and native of Congo who was fatally shot in the back of the head after a struggle with the officer. Grand Rapids Chief Eric Winstrom had declined to name the officer but changed course Monday. Schurr has been a Grand Rapids officer since 2015.
