White Ex-Cop Found Guilty of Murder in Andre Hill Shooting

HeadlineNov 05, 2024

In Ohio, a white former police officer has been found guilty of murdering Andre Hill, a 47-year-old Black man from Columbus who was shot dead while leaving a friend’s house in 2020. Adam Coy faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for 15 years. Body-camera video shows then-officer Coy opened fire just moments after encountering Hill, who was unarmed, striking him three times in the leg and once in the chest. 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. In the wake of the killing, the Columbus City Council passed Andre’s Law, mandating the use of body cameras and requiring police officers to provide aid if they cause any injuries.
