Family wants world to see footage of Grand Rapids (MI) fatal police shooting

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – As the Lyoya family mourned their son, they also had a message: release the video.

A march was held Saturday, April 9, after a Grand Rapids Police officer shot and killed Patrick Lyoya, 26, during a traffic stop earlier this week. Hundreds of people joined the Lyoya family urging police to release bodycam and dashcam footage of the shooting.

In the days after the shooting, calls grew louder for police to release video footage. These came as Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker asked police not to release any evidence, including footage, until the investigation is complete.

Peter Lyoya and Siku say Michigan State Police showed them cruiser dashcam video this week. They claim the officer shot Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head while he laid face down on the ground.

These bastards are profiling my people and eliminating them one traffic stop at a time. At what point does the public protect themselves from these god damn tyrants? Rest In Power King.
