Adam Coy, the Columbus, Ohio, police officer who shot and killed Andre Hill, was fired Monday, reports CNN.
Coy fatally shot 47-year-old Andre Hill last Tuesday within seconds of their encounter, as Hill walked toward Coy holding an illuminated cell phone in his left hand, body camera footage shows. Hill was unarmed.
Officer who killed Andre Hill has been fired
Quinlan had recommended firing Coy stating the former officer shot Hill and didn’t activate his body-worn camera when he responded to the call or render aid after shooting Hill. Coy only turned his camera on after the shooting, and the camera’s look-back feature captured the 60 seconds prior to Coy turning it on.
Quinlan said in a statement Monday the evidence against Coy provided “solid rationale” for termination.
“This is what accountability looks like,” Quinlan said, adding that Coy will now have to answer to state investigators regarding Hill’s death.
Coy, a 19-year veteran of the force, has not been criminally charged for Hill’s murder but the department filed two charges alleging critical misconduct
The fatal shooting is under investigation.
