COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A former Columbus police officer will be receiving his prison sentence nearly five years since he shot and killed Andre Hill.
Adam Coy, 48, is scheduled to appear Monday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court and receive his sentence about 9:30 a.m. You can watch the hearing live in the video player above. Coy is facing a mandatory sentence of 15 years to life in prison.
Flooding threatens dog boarder in Fairfield CountyCoy was convicted in November of murder, reckless homicide and felonious assault for shooting Hill, an unarmed 47-year-old, in 2020. The decision was made after a two-week trial in 2024 and about 12 hours of deliberation.
His trial was postponed multiple times, including in April of 2023 after Coy was diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The trial was originally scheduled for March 2022.
Hill was killed on Dec. 22, 2020, at about 1:50 a.m., when Coy shot him four times while responding to a nonemergency suspicious vehicle call.
Coy fired at Hill after he began exiting a garage at Coy’s request, with a lit phone screen held up in his left hand and his right hand at his side, not clearly visible due to a parked car. Coy testified he believed Hill had a silver revolver in his right hand, which ended up being a set of keys.
Coy did not activate his body camera until after the shooting, which preserved only the previous 60 seconds of video with no audio. From there, video and audio continued, and Coy can be seen not offering immediate medical aid to Hill, who later died at a hospital.
In February, Coy filed a motion for a new trial. Arguments were heard in April, but Judge Stephen McIntosh denied the motion on June 30.
