Ex-officer who killed unarmed Black man to stand trial for murder

What they're saying: "There is little doubt that [Lyoya's] death was caused by the gunshot wound to the head inflicted by defendant," Ayoub said in an opinion that was read in court.

• "The clear depiction of the incident in the video strongly infers that defendant knew he was pointing the gun and firing it at close range to [Lyoya's] head, which, in turn, is sufficient to establish probable cause to conclude that defendant acted with malice."
• "The only real debatable question here is whether defendant’s actions were justified under the law," Ayoub noted.

"This decision is the next step in our pursuit for obtaining FULL and complete justice for Patrick Lyoya," attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Lyoya's family, tweeted after the ruling.

• "We will continue to fight to ensure former Ofc. Schurr and the City of Grand Rapids are held accountable for his actions."
