A former police officer who shot and killed Andre Hill has been found guilty in the shooting.

An attorney for a white former Ohio police officer says the officer mistakenly shot and killed Andre Hill in 2002 because he saw a flash of light from keys in the Black man’s hand and thought he was about to be shot.

Ohio’s capital city has reached a $10 million settlement for the family of Andre Hill, a Black man who was fatally shot by a white Columbus police officer in December as he emerged from a garage holding a cellphone.

The former Columbus Police officer was charged with murder Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021, in the latest fallout following the December shooting death of 47-year-old Andre Hill, a Black man, the state's attorney general said. The alleged details had not been disclosed in the information Columbus police and the Ohio Attorney General's office have put out since the Dec. 22 shooting. There were two more interactions between the two men before Coy can be seen on bodycam footage shooting Hill. Coy was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday following a monthlong investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's Office into the fatal shooting. Franklin County Court Magistrate Elizabeta Saken set the bond after Collins unsuccessfully argued for a bond between $25,000 and $250,000.

Coy was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge by a Franklin County grand jury following an investigation by the Ohio Attorney General's office. Former Columbus Police Officer Adam Coy was indicted Wednesday on a murder charge by a grand jury following an Ohio Attorney General's Office investigation. Only seven officers were convicted of murder, with others convicted of lesser charges such as involuntary manslaughter or reckless homicide, Stinson's data shows. Hill’s family welcomed Coy's indictment while acknowledging that a conviction on all four charges — murder, felonious assault and two counts of dereliction of duty — is what really matters. Additional bodycam footage showed two other Columbus officers roll Hill over, handcuff him, before leaving him alone again.

(AP Photo/Andrew Welsh-Huggins, File)COLUMBUS, Ohio – The next police chief of Columbus must come from outside the agency and through a national search, community activists critical of policing in Ohio's largest city insisted Friday. Former Chief Thomas Quinlan, demoted Thursday by Mayor Andrew Ginther, was a 30-year member of the agency and was unlikely to make the big changes needed because of his career there, the activists said. The next chief should be Black and preferably a woman, Jones said, saying she believes Black women can be transformative leaders by communicating effectively. Ginther, a Democrat, said a new national search will be conducted for the next chief, though activists note the last national search ended in an internal hire.

Quinlan was forced out Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021, after the mayor who hired him said he'd lost confidence in Quinlan's ability to make needed changes to the department, weeks after the police killing of Andre Hill. “It became clear to me that Chief Quinlan could not successfully implement the reform and change I expect and that the community demands," Ginther said in a statement. At the time, Ginther said Quinlan must address racism within the department’s ranks, including further diversifying the department. The Columbus Division of Police — like many big-city agencies — is juggling calls for internal change even as it battles unprecedented street violence.

Ferrell said the union "may or may not" seek arbitration on behalf of Coy. (AP Photo/Andrew Welsh-Huggins)COLUMBUS, Ohio – The union that represents Columbus police officers hasn't decided yet whether to formally challenge the firing of the officer who shot and killed Andre Hill on Dec. 22. The city fired officer Adam Coy, who is white, days after he shot and killed Hill, a Black man, who walked out of a garage holding a cellphone. Police union president Keith Ferrell said Monday the organization is waiting for more information. Ferrell said the notification was necessary because the city didn't grant the union an extension to continue its own investigation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The life of Andre Hill was commemorated Tuesday morning as family and lawmakers called for justice to be brought against the white Columbus police officer who fatally shot the 47-year-old days before Christmas. Dozens gathered at the First Church of God in the city’s southwest side — clad in their Sunday best and Black Lives Matter masks — to honor Hill’s life. Sharpton saluted Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther and other city officials for ordering the firing of Coy less than a week after he shot Hill. Scarcely three weeks later, Columbus Police Officer Adam Coy can be seen in bodycam footage fatally shooting Hill early Dec. 22 as Hill emerged from a garage holding a cellphone in his left hand with his right hand obscured. Hill's daughter, Karissa Hill, broke down in tears while speaking about her father on stage.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – A white Ohio police officer was fired Monday after bodycam footage showed him fatally shooting 47-year-old Andre Hill — a Black man who was holding a cellphone — and failing to administer first aid for several minutes. Columbus police officer Adam Coy was fired hours after a hearing was held to determine his employment, Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. said in a statement. “The shooting of Andre Hill is a tragedy for all who loved him in addition to the community and our Division of Police.”Coy remains under criminal investigation for last week's shooting. The evidence provided solid rationale for termination,” Quinlan said after Coy's termination Monday afternoon. “Officer Coy was given the opportunity today to come and participate,” Brian Steel, vice president of the police union, told reporters Monday.
