The videos showed a scuffle between the officer and Lyoya. The officer is heard telling Lyoya to let go of his Taser during the struggle. Eventually, the officer got Lyoya down on the ground.
While on Lyoya's back, the officer shot him.
Lyoya was stopped because his license plate allegedly didn't match his vehicle. Video from the patrol car, the officer's body camera, a home security system, and his passenger show that there was a struggle between the officer and Lyoya.
The family of 26-year-old Lyoya, who was a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, have shared their pain as they plead for justice. The officer still hasn't been named. Police said it is because he has not been charged.
