(CNN)Police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, are set to release video Wednesday of their encounter with Patrick Lyoya, who died after being shot during a traffic stop this month.
Viralnewsgossip.com will share video in this article with demonstration video as well.
The Grand Rapids Police Department has said Lyoya was killed after an officer’s gun “discharged” during a “lengthy struggle.” But a representative for Lyoya’s family tells CNN he saw video of the shooting and believes the 26-year-old was killed “execution-style.”

Police Chief Eric Winstrom said the department will release police body camera, dashcam, cell phone, and home surveillance system footage, as well as other video.
Neither the videos nor audio will be edited, according to the police department, though “some video images may have been redacted/blurred to ensure privacy.”
The incident began just after 8 a.m. on April 4 when police say they pulled over a vehicle for a traffic stop. The driver, now known to be Lyoya, got out of the vehicle and at some point ran, Grand Rapids Police said at the time.
Not long after, “There was a lengthy struggle, I’m told it was over a minute and a half or two minutes of fighting,” Winstrom said.
“During the struggle, the officer’s weapon discharged, killing the man,” he added.
The Lyoya family moved from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the US in 2014, and has been working with their representative, Pastor Israel Siku, since Patrick’s death. Siku’s first language is Swahili and he also acts as an interpreter for the Lyoyas.
He told CNN he was with Lyoya’s father, just days after the shooting, when they were invited by police to review the video of the shooting.

Siku described the father’s reaction to seeing the video: “He melt(ed) down, he didn’t have anything to say. He almost passed out.”
At a community forum Sunday, Siku told a church full of people, “I saw the video, I could not sleep.”
“The boy was on the floor, the cop as he lays on him, pulls up the gun and shoots him in the head and back up. Patrick did not move,” he added.
There have been multiple protests and rallies on behalf of Lyoya. On Tuesday evening, dozens of people called for justice as they rallied outside a City Commission meeting. Inside the nearly 5-hour meeting, 74 of the 75 members of the public who spoke expressed outrage and sorrow over Lyoya’s death.
In a statement to CNN, Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss said in part, “We are all working through a range of emotions from anger to confusion to grief but I’m confident as a community that we’re also patient and steadfast in our commitment to get to the truth.”
