AG Yost to Discuss Indictment of Former CPD Officer Adam Coy

Press Conference, Feb. 3

Posted by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Wednesday, February 3, 2021

On Dec. 22, Coy and another officer, Amy Detweiler, were responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle on Oberlin Drive.

Though neither officer turned on their body-worn cameras, a 60-second rollback with no audio was captured Coy approaching an open garage with Hill inside. Authorities later said Hill was at the home visiting a friend.

Hill emerged from around a vehicle with a cell phone in his left hand. His right hand was not visible. Seconds later, Coy removed his gun and fired it at Hill.

Though the audio was not recorded, Detweiler told investigators Coy yelled “there’s a gun in his other hand” before opening fire.

Hill was taken to a local hospital where he later died.

Coy was fired on Dec. 28.
