Ohio Father Charged with Murdering Deputy After Son's Shooting

News summary

In Cincinnati, Rodney Hinton Jr. was charged with aggravated murder after allegedly intentionally striking and killing a sheriff's deputy with his vehicle a day after his son, Ryan Hinton, was fatally shot by police during a chase involving a stolen car. Body camera footage showed officers shouting that Ryan had a gun, though he did not appear to fire it, and a firearm was recovered at the scene. The following morning, Rodney Hinton attended a viewing of the police footage but left the room visibly distraught. Later that day, Hinton allegedly drove directly at deputy Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic, resulting in the deputy's death. Prosecutors argue the act was premeditated, and the incident has been described by officials and family attorneys as an unimaginable tragedy for the community. Both families have expressed profound grief over the series of events.
