Congolese immigrant Patrick Lyoya, 26, was shot and killed on April 4 during a confrontation with a white policeman following an 8 a.m. traffic stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The incident was captured on video by at least four camerasâthe dashboard camera of the squad car, the officerâs bodycam, the cellphone of a passenger in the car, and the surveillance camera of a nearby home.
Made public on April 13, the footage outraged Lyoyaâs familyâwhich is originally from the Democratic Republic of Congoâand provoked several small, peaceful demonstrations in the downtown area.
