Grand Rapids Police Department

Three years ago, Patrick Lyoya was shot and killed by former Grand Rapids Police Department officer Christopher Schurr.

Today, a review of a 2022 case where a Grand Rapids police officer shot and killed Patrick Lyoya and what happens next. Then, the story of a water rescue and the journey of finding the stranger that saved him. Plus, the time Michiganders tried taking over Ontario.

The Michigan Supreme Court turned down an appeal Monday, clearing the way for a police officer to face trial for second-degree murder in the death of a man who was shot in the head in 2022.

The Michigan Court of Appeals heard oral arguments Wednesday in the case, which could set a precedent for future deadly force incidents.

The gun wasn't loaded. But a week after the incident, another child brought a loaded gun to a different Grand Rapids school.

It's been one year since Patrick Lyoya was killed by a Grand Rapids Police officer. One year later, what does Grand Rapids’ policing look like and what change has happened?

Lyoya’s killing shocked community members who had been arguing for years that GRPD officers routinely used force against minority suspects when it wasn’t necessary.

The Michigan Department of Civil Rights says it has 21 open investigation's against GRPD. So far, four have resulted in formal charges.

The formal charges involve two incidents of alleged discrimination against Black residents. The state civil rights department says 28 other claims are still under investigation.

In court Friday livestreamed by WOOD TV-8, defense attorney Mark Dodge requested a low bond. He claimed Schurr is not guilty of a crime.
