COLUMBUS, Ohio According to reports, it took paramedics 15 minutes to get to Andre’ Hill who was on the ground dying outside a garage on Oberlin Drive on Dec. 22.
Talking with Columbus Division of Fire Battalion Chief Steve Martin, the first call received from Columbus police for a medic was at 1:57 a.m., six minutes after police records say Hill had been shot by Columbus Police Officer Adam Coy.
The second officer who was at the scene when Adam Coy fatally shot Andre Hill in Columbus, Ohio, last week did not perceive any threat or see a gun, according to records released Tuesday.
Hill, 47, was holding a cellphone in one hand when he was fatally shot by Coy on Dec. 22 as he exited a garage. Coy and another officer, identified as Amy Detwiler, were responding to a neighbor’s non-emergency call about someone turning a vehicle on and off repeatedly and playing music. Both officers approached the scene with guns drawn, and Coy shot Hill within 10 seconds of approaching the garage.

Dec. 28 (UPI) Columbus, Ohio, officer Adam Coy, who shot and killed 47-year-old Andre Hill, has been fired, the Columbus Police Division said Monday.
Columbus Public Safety Director Ned Pettus Jr. said Coy was fired after a disciplinary hearing Monday morning.
Advertisement The information, evidence and representations made by Chief [Thomas] Quinlan as the investigator are, in my opinion, indisputable. His disciplinary recommendation is well-supported and appropriate, Pettus said. The actions of Adam Coy do not live up to the oath of a Columbus police officer, or the standards we, and the community, demand of our officers.
