A white police officer killed a black man in the United States.
A traffic stop on a street in Grand Rapids, Michigan escalated, the US cop shot dead 26-year-old Patrick Lyoya.
The incident happened on April 4, and the police have now released bodycam footage showing the moments
before
the fatal shot.
Lyoya did not stay in the car, as is usual during checks, but got out.
Looking confused, he closed the door and moved away from the car.
A physical altercation then ensues.
After a good minute, the policeman tries to use his taser - and then fights with Lyoya for the gun.
The camera turns off and the fatal shots are missing from the recording.
But a neighbor's security camera captured the moment from afar.
In Michigan, a number of people took to the streets and also demonstrated in front of the police station.
In the USA, cases of police brutality are becoming known again and again - disproportionately often they are directed against black people.
The protests have been getting bigger for years - especially since the death of George Floyd.
In May 2020, a police officer pressed the 46-year-old on the ground until he suffocated.
In the case of Patrick Lyoya, investigations are now underway into the exact course of the fatal incident.
