COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus City Council unanimously passed "Andre's Law" Monday night, which will set new requirements for the Columbus Division of Police. 

The law is named after Andre Hill, a 47-year-old Black man who was shot and killed by former Columbus police officer Adam Coy on Dec. 22. Coy, along with another officer, Amy Detweiler, responded to an unrelated complaint on Oberlin Drive that day about an unknown vehicle running on and off. 

When approached by officers at a nearby home, to which Hill had been invited to, he was not armed and held a cell phone in his left hand., according to city documents. 

Coy claimed at the time Hill was holding a gun, according to Detweiler, and then Coy shot Hill multiple times. The body cameras of both officers were not turned on until after the incident. However, the rollback of the body cameras captured what happened, but without any audio. 

No weapons were recovered at the scene, according to documents from Columbus police. A week later, Coy was terminated.

The law will require officers to turn body cameras on in any situation and requires them to get medical aid for any use of force case that involves injury or worse. After Hill was shot, he laid on the ground for 10 minutes before receiving any aid, according to Deitweiler's body camera footage. 

The new law will also create disciplinary actions for officers who fail to turn on body cameras. Officers must turn them on immediately after exiting their vehicles when following up on a complaint. 

“Andre’s Law aims to ensure that safety officers use their body-worn cameras properly and call for aid or deliver medical aid themselves," said Columbus City Council President Shannon Harding in a press conference last week.

Hill's daughter, Karissa, called for the legislation to prevent the situation from happening again. 

"He was my gentle giant. I'd call him my rock. He was my support. He was my best friend," Karissa Hill said at his funeral. 

The law passed just a few days after former Columbus Police Chief Thomas Quinlan resigned at Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther’s request. 

“It became clear to me that Chief Quinlan could not successfully implement the reform and change I expect and that the community demands. Columbus residents have lost faith in him and in Division’s ability to change on its own. Chief Quinlan understood. He agreed to step back, so the city can move forward. I appreciate Chief Quinlan’s service to the community and the changes he was able to implement in his time as chief,” Ginther said a press conference on Thursday. 

Ginther also said he was worried Quinlan wouldn't enable the change and reform the city deserved. 

“Andre's Law will not solve all police violence, but it's one more step in the right direction,” Harding said.
