The City of Columbus, Ohio Agrees to Pay $10 Million to the Family of an Unarmed Black Man Who Was Killed by Police

The city of Columbus, Ohio, has agreed to pay the family of Andre Hill $10 million, City Attorney Zach Klein announced on Friday, May 14.

“We understand that because of this former officer’s actions, the Hill family will never be whole,” Klein said in a statement. “No amount of money will ever bring Andre Hill back to his family, but we believe this is an important and necessary step in the right direction.”

Hill, 47, was unarmed when he was fatally shot by now fired Columbus Division of Police officer Adam Coy in December after officers responded to a non-emergency call about someone turning a vehicle on and off in a neighborhood.
