C-bus Ohio Cop facing charges for murder after on duty shooting of a AA man [View all]

1.



from the article in the tweet.
snip-"Fired Columbus Police officer Adam Coy has been indicted by a grand jury for the murder of Andre Hill, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced Wednesday."

snip-"The grand jury charges against Coy include murder, felonious assault, dereliction of duty for failing to activate his body camera, and dereliction of duty for failing to alert his fellow officer that he felt Hill presented a danger. Yost said Coy was arrested at his lawyer's office this afternoon."

snip-"Coy is just the second Columbus officer to be indicted for shooting a civilian in the last 20 years."

snip-"The criminal investigation was led by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, with the Ohio Attorney General's Office acting as a special prosecutor at the request of the Franklin County Prosecutor. The U.S. Attorney's Office is also reviewing the case for possible civil rights violations."
