Before the shooting, Coy and the other officer did not activate their body cameras, but the camera’s 60-second ‘look back’ window feature captured the shooting, with no audio, police said. The bodycam video shows Hillwalking with a mobile phone in his left hand toward Coy and the other cop. According to the officers, his right hand was not visible.

Coy, striking Hill, fired his pistol. Police said the victim was taken to Riverside Hospital, where he died at 2:25 a.m. The video may be from the shooting.

Who is Andre Maurice Hill?

47-year-old Andre Maurice Hill was identified by the authorities here as the unarmed Black man shot and killed by police earlier this week, with a body-cam video showing the cop opening fire at him in the garage of the house he was visiting.

The incident occurred on Oberlin Drive in the northwest part of the city of Columbus, according to a police press release. In the declaration, the police said, “the preliminary investigation indicates the man shot was visiting someone at the home. A weapon was not recovered at the scene. The body-worn camera also documents a delay in rendering first aid to the man.”

On Wednesday, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio announced that he would investigate the shooting for possible abuses of federal civil rights. For proof of past wrongdoing, he won’t have to look too hard.

  1. Why did the artist choose to darken the skin and eyes, and give exaggerated “African” features to the picture that’s supposed to be of Hill? Because the dude in the photo is as white as I am. He’s got green eyes, light brown facial hair (the part that isn’t white), fair skin, and facial features that look perhaps Italian. He’s as “black” as Rachel Dolezal is black, but the artist is trying to make him look more so. What a bad joke.
