CNN
A Grand Rapids, Michigan, police officer was "justified in his use of force" and not guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Patrick Lyoya, the officer's lawyer said at his client's arraignment Friday.
Lyoya, a Black man, was shot to death on April 4 by Christopher Schurr, a White officer trying to arrest him after a traffic stop in a case that has drawn national attention.
Lyoya was shot in the back of the head during a struggle. His final moments were captured in multiple videos later released to the public.
