A jury couldn’t reached a unanimous verdict Thursday in the second-degree murder trial of a Michigan police officer who shot Patrick Lyoya, a Black man, following a traffic stop in 2022.
The judge declared a mistrial and ended the proceedings, a partial victory for Christopher Schurr, who still could face another trial. Lyoya’s death had sparked weeks of protest in Grand Rapids, especially after the city’s police chief released video of the confrontation.
