His name is Christopher Schurr. He is the officer who shot Congolese immigrant Patrick Lyoya in the back of the head three weeks ago during a traffic stop.
Grand Rapids Chief Eric Winstrom had declined to name the officer immediately after the incident but changed his mind late Monday evening. Here’s the statement explaining why.
“In the interest of transparency, to reduce on-going speculation, and to avoid further confusion, I am confirming the name already publicly circulating, Christopher Schurra, as the officer involved in the April 4 officer-involved shooting. Beginning this week, as required by law, the Grand Rapids Police Department will be releasing documents in response to requests made under the Freedom of Informations Act relative to this incident. Any further request for documents must also be made through a FOIA request and will be provided via the FOIA process as legally allowable. Officer Schurr remains on administrative leave, stripped of his police powers, until the conclusions of the Michigan State Police Investigation into the potential criminal charges and the completion of GRPD’s Internal Affairs Investigation to determine whether all applicable departmental policies were followed.”
Schurr has been a Grand Rapids officer since 2015.
