Trial Begins for Former Officer Adam Coy in Shooting of Andre Hill

Adam Coy faces murder charges for the fatal shooting of unarmed Andre Hill, with prosecutors arguing he was unjustified in his actions.

Andre Hill was shot by Adam Coy in December 2020 while holding a cellphone, which Coy claimed he mistook for a weapon.
Coy, who was fired shortly after the incident, faces charges including murder and reckless homicide.
Body camera footage captured the moments leading up to and after the shooting, but not the audio of their initial encounter.
The city of Columbus settled with Hill's family for $10 million and renamed a community center gymnasium in his honor.
The trial was delayed due to Coy's cancer treatment, and jury selection focused on potential biases related to social movements.
