FATHER CHARGED WITH KILLING OHIO DEPUTY AFTER POLICE FATALLY SHOT HIS SON

CINCINNATI — Authorities have charged 43-year-old Rodney Hinton Jr. with murder after he allegedly ran over and killed an Ohio deputy just one day after his own son was fatally shot by police.

Police say the deadly incident happened less than 24 hours after officers shot and killed 18-year-old Ryan Hinton. Investigators are calling the deputy’s death a “calculated attack.” Surveillance footage shows Hinton Jr. allegedly using his SUV to strike the deputy outside a residence, leaving the officer fatally injured.

Rodney Hinton Jr. was taken into custody shortly after the crash. He faces charges of aggravated murder and felonious assault. Authorities say emotions were running high following the loss of his son, but stress that retaliation cannot be tolerated.

Ryan Hinton was killed the day before during an encounter with Cincinnati police. Details surrounding the shooting of the teen are still under investigation.
