COLUMBUS, Ohio — Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther is expected to announce the members of the new Civilian Police Review Board at 2 p.m. Wednesday. 

The review board stems from an issue voters approved of in November. It will give the nine members of the board the power to investigate allegations police misconduct, and they will also appoint the city's first Inspector General, who will be able to launch independent investigations. More details revolving around the duties of members and the Inspector General have yet to be released. 

More than 200 people applied to be on the board, including former Columbus Police Chief Walter Distelzweig and Adrienne Green, the mother of Henry Green, a Black man who was fatally shot by Columbus police officers in 2016, according to city documents. 

The members will be expected to serve three years.

After voters approved of creating a board, two unarmed Black men were shot by a Columbus police officer and a Franklin County sheriff's deputy, furthering the calls from residents on police accountability. 

On Dec. 6, 2020, Casey Goodson Jr., 23, was shot and killed outside of his Columbus home by Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Meade, who remains on administrative leave. The autopsy report released on March 19 shows Goodson was shot from behind six times — five times in the back and once in the gluteus. 

Two weeks later on Dec. 22, 2020, former Columbus Police Officer Adam Coy shot and killed Andre Hill, 47, while dropping off Christmas presents at a friend's home, according to city documents. Coy has been terminated.
