Ex-Columbus Officer Adam Coy Testifies in Murder Trial Over Andre Hill Shooting

Coy claims he mistook Hill's keys for a gun, leading to the fatal shooting of the unarmed Black man in 2020.

Adam Coy, a former Columbus police officer, is on trial for the murder of Andre Hill, who was shot in December 2020.
Coy testified that he believed Hill was holding a gun when he fired four shots, but later realized it was a set of keys.
The shooting led to Coy's dismissal from the police force and a $10 million settlement between the city and Hill's family.
Prosecutors argue that Hill was not a threat and had complied with Coy's commands before the shooting.
Coy faces charges of murder, felonious assault, and reckless homicide, with the trial expected to continue this week.
