Trial Begins for Ex-Officer in 2020 Shooting of Andre Hill

Adam Coy, a former Ohio police officer, faces multiple charges in the death of unarmed Black man Andre Hill during a noise complaint response.

Adam Coy, who was fired from the Columbus police force, is charged with murder, reckless homicide, and dereliction of duty.
Andre Hill was shot while holding a cellphone, with no visible weapon, according to body camera footage.
Coy's defense claims he mistook Hill's key ring for a gun, leading to the fatal shooting.
Columbus reached a $10 million settlement with Hill's family, the largest in city history, and passed 'Andre's Law' to ensure medical aid by officers.
Coy's personnel records reveal a history of complaints, including excessive force, with most marked as 'unfounded' or 'not sustained.'
