Adam Coy, former Ohio cop, charged with the death of Andre Hill
Former Columbus police officer has been charged with the murder of Andre Hill, Ohio’s Attorney General announced.

Former Columbus police officer Adam Coy accused of killing Andre Hill has been indicted for murder, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced.
Adam Coy is accused of fatally shooting Hill, a 47-year-old Black man, during an early-morning encounter in a residential garage in late December.
Adam Coy indicted
Coy was indicted for murder in the commission of a felony, felonious assault, dereliction of duty for failing to activate his body camera and dereliction of duty for failing to tell his fellow officer that he believed Hill presented a danger, Yost said. The grand jurors did not indict Coy for purposeful murder.
The shooting
Authorities said the shooting occurred after a neighbor reported a person who was repeatedly starting and stopping the engine of an SUV at around 1:30 a.m. on a residential street.
Body camera footage showed Coy approaching Hill, who was standing inside a garage.
As Hill walked toward Coy holding a cellphone in his left hand, Coy fired his service weapon.
Hill fell to the ground as Coy yelled for him to show his hands.
The video did not show Coy providing medical care. Hill later died of his injuries, and a preliminary autopsy ruled his death a homicide.
Adam Coy fired
Coy was fired in the days following the fatal shooting. In a statement announcing Coy’s termination, the public safety director said his actions “do not live up to the oath of a Columbus Police officer, or the standards we, and the community, demand of our officers.”
