Former Ohio officer stands trial in the 2020 shooting death of Andre Hill

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A white former Ohio police officer is on trial in the killing of Andre Hill, a Black man who was shot as he emerged from a garage holding a cellphone nearly four years ago. Columbus Officer Adam Coy is a 17-year veteran of the police force. He fatally shot Hill while responding to a neighbor’s noise complaint. Coy was fired after the Dec. 22, 2020, shooting. He’s pleaded not guilty to murder, reckless homicide and related offenses. Coy’s attorney has said the officer thought he saw Hill with a silver revolver in his right hand. Jury selection began Monday. Hill was a father and grandfather.
