$10 million

Case status: APPEAL PENDING: Adam Coy was convicted of murder on November 4, 2024, and sentenced on July 28, 2025, to a mandatory 15 years to life. An appeal was filed in August 2025 and is still pending — the conviction is not final.
What happened
On December 22, 2020, Columbus officer Adam Coy shot and killed Andre Hill, mistaking the keys and phone in Hill’s hands for a gun. Coy’s body camera was off; a 60-second silent "look-back" buffer on the camera captured the shooting without audio.
The follow-through
Coy was fired on December 28, 2020. In February 2021, Columbus enacted Andre’s Law in Hill’s name. In May 2021, the city settled with Hill’s family for $10 million.
The criminal case
Coy was convicted of murder on November 4, 2024. On July 28, 2025, he was sentenced to a mandatory 15 years to life in prison.
His appeal was filed in August 2025 and remains pending.
