A former police officer, Adam Coy, was convicted of murder on Monday in the shooting of Andre Hill, a Black man who was holding a cell phone and keys when he was killed. The incident occurred nearly four years ago in Columbus, Ohio.
Coy, who served nearly 20 years with the Columbus police force, shot Hill four times in a garage. He claimed he thought Hill was holding a silver revolver and feared for his life. However, it was later revealed that Hill was unarmed, holding only a cell phone and keys.
