The Columbus police officer who shot and killed an unarmed Black man last week has been terminated, according to leaders with the local Fraternal Order of Police.

A hearing on whether Officer Adam Coy should be fired concluded late Monday morning, and city officials promised a "prompt decision" on the officer's employment.

Brian Steel, Vice President of FOP Capital City Lodge 9, confirmed Coy's termination to The Dispatch late Monday afternoon.

Also Monday, a preliminary report from the Franklin County Coroner's Office determined Andre Hill's death to be a homicide. The preliminary cause of death is multiple gunshot wounds, the coroner's office said in a media release. A full autopsy report is expected in 12 to 14 weeks.
