Statement on The Killing of Patrick Lyoya
April 15, 2022---- The hurt within Grand Rapids, Michigan resulting from the killing of Patrick Lyoya is deep and traumatizing for the family and friends of Mr. Lyoya, as well as for the community. For those who assisted him and his family in arriving to this country and Grand Rapids as a refugee for an enriching experience of opportunity, safety and security, his death is both contradictory and confusing. Condolences and thoughts are with those family members and friends. W
