An independent autopsy has confirmed that Patrick Lyoya was shot in the back of the head by a police officer in the US state of Michigan while face down on the ground, lawyers for his family said.
The finding by a former Detroit-area medical examiner released on Tuesday matches what was seen last week in the video released by the police chief in Grand Rapids, Michigan, about 240km (150 miles) northwest of Detroit. The official autopsy report has not been released to the public.
The 26-year-old, who was originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was killed on April 4 after a police officer pulled him over in Grand Rapids. He and the officer physically struggled on the ground before Lyoya was fatally shot.
