Attorneys' final arguments in Patrick Lyoya murder case

Jury deliberations have begun in the murder trial of former officer Christopher Schurr, who is charged with second-degree murder for the shooting death of Patrick Lyoya, a Congolese refugee, during a traffic stop in April 2022. The prosecution argues that Schurr intended to kill Lyoya, who posed no threat and was attempting to escape, while the defense claims Schurr acted out of fear for his life, believing Lyoya was armed with a taser, and emphasizes doubts regarding the justification of deadly force.
