Patrick Lyoya family's attorney says release of officer's name is 'too little, too late'

Patrick Lyoya was shot and killed by Grand Rapids officer Christopher Shurr on April 4.

Nearly three weeks after Patrick Lyoya was killed, the Grand Rapids police chief on Monday identified the officer who fatally shot Lyoya as Christopher Schurr.

Lyoya, a native of Congo, was shot in the head on April 4 after Schurr pulled him over for an unregistered license plate. Video footage of the incident shows Schurr struggling with Lyoya, eventually forcing him to the ground and shouting, "stop resisting," "let go" and "drop the Taser," before shooting Lyoya.

While Grand Rapids attorney Ven Johnson and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who are representing the Lyoya family, have been calling for the name of the officer to be released since the day Lyoya was killed, now that it's happened, Johnson said knowing the name does little to console the family.

"Our clients literally buried their son Friday. ... This doesn't do a whole lot, and it's something that should have been done at the time when they released the videos," Johnson told ABC News, adding that Lyoya's parents "feel like they're getting red tape after red tape after red tape."
