A grand jury in Ohio’s capital city on Friday added a criminal charge of reckless homicide against the former Columbus police officer who fatally shot a Black man holding a cellphone.
Adam Coy was indicted in February on murder, felonious assault and dereliction of duty charges in the death of 47-year-old Andre Hill. Columbus officials cited incompetence and “gross neglect of duty” when Coy was was fired less than a week after the Dec. 22 shooting.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Anthony Pierson said in a statement: “This is an additional charge based on our ongoing investigation, not a superseding charge. Our case is strong and we look forward to trying it in court.”
