Use-of-force expert Kevin Davis testified Monday that former Columbus Vice Officer Andrew Mitchell was justified in the deadly shooting of Donna Castleberry in 2018.

Columbus City Council last night signed off on a new law requiring police officers to activate their body cameras and provide first aid if a person is injured by an officer.
The law is named after Andre Hill, an unarmed Black man killed by a white Columbus Police officer in December. Adam Coy, who has since been fired from the department, did not activate his camera before shooting Hill or help the man as he laid dying on a garage floor.
“As we seek justice in the death of Andre’ Hill, there are two things we know for sure,” Council President Shannon Hardin said in a statement. “The officer on the scene did not immediately activate the City-issued body camera, and neither of the officers dispatched administered medical aid. This is something we can address now.”
