GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Local activists held a march on Saturday afternoon, April 9, in response to the death of Patrick Lyoya, 26, who was killed during a traffic stop by a Grand Rapids police officer five days earlier.
Hundreds of supporters, starting at nonprofit Amplify GR’s offices, marched through the city’s Boston Square neighborhood with members of Lyoya’s family. 
The Lyoya family left the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2014 to come to the United States to escape the violence there.
