Lyoya's father, Peter Lyoya, took his six children, including his eldest, 26-year-old Patrick, from Congo in 2014 to escape violence. Now he says he fears he brought them to the United States to die. Peter Lyoya spoke with The Associated Press in his Lansing, Mich., apartment on Thursday, a day after police released video of the fatal encounter. Patrick's cousin Ben served as an interpreter.Peter said he came to the U.S.
In the April 4 encounter, the officer repeatedly ordered Lyoya to "let go" of his Taser, at one point demanding: "Drop the Taser!" A still photo taken from video shows Lyoya being held face down before he was shot. A lawyer for Lyoya's family says it was an 'execution.'
