An autopsy showed Patrick Lyoya was shot in the back of his head, lawyers said. The Grand Rapids Police Department released video of the shooting.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- An autopsy commissioned by Patrick Lyoya's family shows the 26-year-old was shot in the back of the head following an April 4 encounter with a Grand Rapids, Michigan, police officer, attorneys representing the family said Tuesday.
According to Spitz's report, which was read aloud by Crump, Lyoya"was conscious and aware of the fact that a gun was being held to the back of his head. Death was instantaneous when the gun was fired." An official death certificate, including the cause and manner of Lyoya's death, has yet to be released. The report has been prepared, Kent County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Stephen D. Cohle said in a statement last week, but it won't be completed until the results of toxicology and tissue tests have been received from a contracted laboratory.
The encounter can be seen in videos captured from various cameras -- including a police body camera, the police vehicle's dashcam, cell phone and a home surveillance camera. Those videos were released by Grand Rapids police last week.
