1. Local paper-which has a paywall

If you are going to follow this story, as a local, I'd recommend @WOSU & follow The Columbus Free Press, which is a longstanding local lefty paper.


Source-https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/02/03/ohio-attorney-general-adam-coy-indicted-death-andre-hill/4381820001/

snip-"Hill’s death drew public outrage not only because it was yet another incident of police shooting and killing an unarmed Black man following a summer of racial justice protests against police use of force, but also because Hill was left dying on the ground without police administering medical assistance for several minutes.
Police, however, did handcuff the bleeding Hill."

snip-"The case fell under the jurisdiction of the Franklin County Prosecutor's office, which requested that Yost's office serve as special prosecutor because the prosecutor's office was undergoing a transition in leadership around the new year. The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation also investigated the shooting in accordance with city policy for shootings .
