Overview

  • Coy was convicted in November 2024 of murder, reckless homicide and felonious assault after he shot the unarmed 47-year-old four times in December 2020.
  • Judge Stephen McIntosh denied Coy’s motion for a new trial in June before handing down the mandatory sentence.
  • Coy’s body-worn camera was activated only after the shooting, capturing just the 60 seconds before the incident without audio.
  • In court, Coy said he will appeal his sentence and has registered as a violent offender in Franklin County.
  • The case led Columbus to settle for $10 million with Hill’s family and pass ‘Andre’s Law’ mandating immediate medical care after police use of force.
