John,

It should have never taken this long to name the cop who murdered Patrick
Lyoya in Grand Rapids nearly a month ago.

Grand Rapids Police Officer Christopher Schurr shot and killed Patrick
Lyoya on April 4th.

Now he needs to be fired and charged. That is the BARE minimum of
accountability in this case.

But the Grand Rapids DA, Chris Becker, is not likely to do it. His office
has deep ties with Grand Rapids Police Department — the same Police
Department that waited nearly three weeks before releasing Christopher
Schurr’s name.

[ [link removed] ]Please sign our super-petition NOW to demand an independent prosecutor
be appointed for this case. A DA who works with the same police department
that murdered Patrick Lyoya should not be in charge.

ADD YOUR NAME

Right now, Christopher Schurr is on administrative leave and his policing
powers have been removed. In fact, he is still being PAID.

That isn’t NEARLY enough,
John. In fact, it’s appalling.

Real and true justice would be Patrick Lyoya being alive today.

While the family continues to grieve and seek the accountability they can
for the brutal murder of their son, brother, and father, we’re doing what
we can to make sure that some level of accountability is brought in this
horrific case.

There is video evidence of Christopher Schurr shooting Patrick Lyoya in
the back of his head. That doesn’t deserve administrative leave. That
deserves a response to the fullest extent of the law by being fired and
charged NOW.

That starts with the appointment of an independent prosecutor.

[ [link removed] ]If you haven’t done so yet, add your name to our petition demanding
that DA Chris Becker recuse himself so an independent prosecutor can be
appointed. The more people who take action, the more pressure we can build
to get an independent prosecutor as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Real Justice
