In this image from video, former police officer Adam Coy, left, sits in court in Columbus, Ohio, on Monday, Nov. 4, 2024, before the verdict is read in his trial over the shooting of Andre Hill, a Black man who was holding a cellphone and keys when he was killed. Officer Adam Coy, who served nearly 20 years with the Columbus police force, shot Hill four times in a garage nearly four years ago. Coy, who is white, was fired after the shooting.
Prosecutors said Hill, 47, had followed the officer’s commands and was never a threat to Coy, who now faces at least 15 years in prison. The jury also found him guilty of reckless homicide and felonious assault. Brian Steel, president of the police union in Columbus, said he was shocked by the murder conviction and said it would cause ripple effects for officers in Ohio and beyond.“Officers are willing to die for their community, they are willing to die for this job,” Steel said. “They do not want to go to prison for this job."
