Disciplinary hearing held for officer after fatal shooting of unarmed Black man
A disciplinary hearing was held Monday for Columbus, Ohio, police officer Adam Coy who shot and killed Andre Hill, an unarmed Black man, last week.
Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. will now review the evidence and determine if Coy will keep his job.
"Officer Coy was provided an opportunity to be heard by the director who will ultimately make the decision regarding his continued employment," the Columbus Department of Public Safety said Monday. "Members of the Fraternal Order of Police attended the hearing on behalf of Officer Coy, who was not in attendance."
As Pettus deliberates, Coy has been stripped of all police powers and has surrendered his gun and badge, according to the Department of Public Safety.
