Christopher Schurr trial ends in mistrial after jury fails to reach verdict

A mistrial was declared in the case against former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr, who was charged with second-degree murder for the shooting of Patrick Lyoya, a Congolese refugee, during a traffic stop in April 2022. After six days of testimony from 23 witnesses, the jury was unable to reach a verdict, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial. This means the case could be retried with a new jury, dismissed, or potentially resolved through a plea deal.
