"Today we rest and enjoy our holiday. Tomorrow, we get out and support and uplift this family. Keep them and Casey's family in your thoughts today. Send them your love and strength," Hill's sister said in a written statement to Spectrum News 1.

Hill's death comes weeks after Casey Goodson, Jr., 23, another Black man, was shot and killed by a Franklin County "Sheriff's Office" deputy on Dec. 4.

Hill was walking out of his garage with a cell phone in his hand when he was shot by Coy, who was responding to a non-emergency call of a person turning a car on and off in the middle of the night.

Coy’s body-camera captured the officer fatally shooting Hill, but because the officer did not promptly activate his camera there is no audio of what either man said.

Columbus police Chief Thomas Quinlan moved to terminate Coy on Thursday.

Coy failed to turn on his body camera and failed to administer first aid, Quinlan said in a statement.

Quinlin's recommendations were sent to the director of Public Safety, he said.

“Like all of you, I witnessed his critical misconduct firsthand via his body-worn camera.  I have seen everything I need to see to reach the conclusion that Officer Coy must be terminated, immediately. Some may call this a rush to judgment. It is not,” Quinlan said. “We have an officer who violated his oath to comply with the rules and policies of the Columbus Division of Police. And the consequences of that violation are so great, it requires immediate action.”

The video released Wednesday does not show aid to Hill until more than six minutes after Coy opened fire.

Hill was unarmed and committed no crime, officials said.

He was not a resident of the home at which he was shot, but he was an expected visitor.
