HeadlineFeb 04, 2021

In Columbus, Ohio, former police officer Adam Coy was arrested and charged with murder for the fatal shooting of 47-year-old Andre Hill, a Black man, after a grand jury indicted Coy Wednesday in the killing. While responding to a nonemergency call in December, then-officer Coy, who is white, opened fire just seconds after encountering Hill, who was unarmed. Officer Coy was not using his body camera properly at the time, and he failed to administer aid to Hill for several minutes as Hill lay dying.
