Former Columbus Police Officer Is Charged With Murder
Adam Coy fatally shot Andre Hill in December within seconds of approaching him in a garage.

------

The former officer, Adam Coy, a 19-year veteran, was also charged with felonious assault and two counts of dereliction of duty. He was fired several weeks after the shooting.

Mr. Coy shot Andre Hill, 47, after responding to a call about a suspicious vehicle. When he and another officer arrived at the scene, Mr. Coy found Mr. Hill in a garage and opened fire within seconds. Mr. Hill, who had been holding a cellphone, died at a hospital shortly after.

Mr. Yost said his office acted as a special prosecutor in the case, reviewing evidence, interviewing witnesses and presenting charges to a grand jury. The grand jury indicted Mr. Coy, who was arrested on Wednesday.

Damn.

Hill, 47, was shot to death by Coy on Dec. 22. Officers were responding to a 311 non-emergency call for a noise complaint.

Police body camera footage released in December showed officers handcuffing an apparently lifeless Hill after shooting him multiple times and then standing around for five minutes and 11 seconds without rendering first aid.
=============================
Coy did not turn his body-camera on until after he fired shots at Hill. But his camera automatically activated and recorded 60 seconds of the episode without sound.

He was fired in January after an investigation determined that his use of deadly force was not reasonable.
