DETROIT — One day after police released the name of the officer who shot and killed Patrick Lyoya, the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP is demanding the officer be fired, the Kent County prosecutor recuse himself from the investigation and Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel step in.
During a news conference Tuesday outside the Kent County prosecutor’s office, Cle Jackson, president of the Greater Grand Rapids NAACP, said police Chief Eric Winstrom should not only terminate Officer Christopher Schurr but "start the decertification process that will not allow him to ever serve as a police officer in the state of Michigan."
Jackson also pushed for a prosecutor from outside Kent County to review the case.
