GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Christopher Schurr, the Grand Rapids police officer who was charged with second-degree murder in the April shooting death of motorist Patrick Lyoya, appeared via video Friday for his arraignment, where a judge set his bond at $100,000.
Schurr appeared by Zoom before Judge Nicholas S. Ayoub in the 61st District Court, where he pleaded not guilty. Schurr and his attorneys told the court that because of where Schurr was housed, they were unable to meet before the arraignment.
Ayoub set Schurr's bail at $100,000, saying while Schurr had no criminal history and had cooperated with proceedings, the nature of the charge "elevates pre-trial risk."
