Prosecutor’s decision not to retry officer in Patrick Lyoya case sparks family outrage

Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker decided not to retry former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr for the death of Patrick Lyoya after a mistrial was declared due to jurors not reaching a unanimous verdict on the second-degree murder charge. Lyoya's family expressed deep anguish and continues to seek justice through a civil lawsuit, as the incident has highlighted broader systemic issues and renewed calls for police accountability.
