A former police officer who shot and killed Andre Hill has been found guilty in the shooting. A jury on Monday convicted former Columbus Officer Adam Coy of murder. Coy testified during the trial that he thought Hill was holding a gun and going to shoot him so he fired four times. Hill was holding a cellphone and keys in his hands when he was shot in December 2020. Prosecutors said Hill was complying and posed no threat when he was killed inside a Columbus garage. Coy is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 25.
