COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Millennium Movement, an organization for justice, put together an event for Andre’ Hill, the man who was fatally shot by a now-former Columbus police officer last December.
Hill’s family, friends and community members gathered on Brentnell Avenue to honor him and his birthday.
He would’ve turned 48 on Sunday, May 23.
Organizer LaToya Gibson said it was a day of celebration, with no protests, just another day of keeping his name alive.
“We’re here dedicating the No More Names, Last Stand Community Park and Prayer Creek, in honor of Mr. Andre Hill’. We’re just basically out here trying to celebrate his life with the family, good clean fun,” Gibson said.
