Officer Adam Coy was fired by Columbus on Tuesday as the city’s police chief says the video left him “shaken”.
Multiple police officers stood by for several minutes without offering any first aid to a dying man after he was shot by another officer, bodycam footage released on Thursday has revealed.
The video from officers in Columbus, Ohio, appears to show that 47-year-old Andre Hill, who is black, was still alive on the floor of a garage after he was shot on 22 December as officers secure the area.
According to Skynews, five minutes after he was shot by Officer Adam Coy, who is white, another officer can be heard in the footage saying: “Let’s cuff him up. He’s still moving.”
Mr Hill is then rolled over on to his stomach before being handcuffed and put on his back as the officers wait for an ambulance.
Minutes later, a more senior officer arrives and asks “anybody doing anything for him?” He then orders an officer to start CPR. Mr Hill was later pronounced dead.
Andre Hill can be seen holding a mobile phone in his left hand before he was shot
