This is Rodney Hinton Jr. Rodney Hinton Jr’s son Rodney Hinton III was fatally shot and killed by Cincinnati police officer Larry Henderson on the morning of May 1, 2025. Rodney III had just turned 18 having been born April 19, 2007. He would’ve graduated in a few weeks. Reportedly this was after a suspected stolen car chase…Rodney Hinton III was accused of having a handgun. He and four others ran when cops attempted to apprehend what they identified as four suspects. ”Clips and still images from officer body cameras show the people who were in the car scattered when police pulled in and trapped the suspected stolen vehicle with their cruisers.” No shots were fired from the handgun Rodney Hinton III was accused of having. But, four to five shots were fired from officer Larry Henderson, killing Rodney Hinton III. CPD spokesperson Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said no officers were hurt in the shooting. All three of the other teenagers they didn’t kill have been arrested. Court documents show both 19-year-old Deanthony Bullocks and 18-year-old Jurell Austin are charged with receiving stolen property and obstructing official business. In a release on Saturday, CPD said they detained 18-year-old Cynsere Grigsby for the same charges as Bullocks and Austin. A day after, on Martin Luther King Drive and Burnet Woods Drive near the University of Cincinnati's campus, where graduation commencements were being held Cincinnati police said a Hamilton County Sheriff's Deputy was outside of his vehicle, directing traffic at the intersection when he was struck by a vehicle entering the intersection. The deputy was taken to UC Medical Center, where he died. Rodney Hinton Jr., is charged with aggravated murder, but neither police nor an attorney representing his family have disclosed any motivation behind his alleged targeting of the deputy. Questions also remain in the police shooting death of 18-year-old Ryan Hinton. The Cincinnati Police Department says he appeared to point a gun at an officer while fleeing Thursday, but the officer’s body camera footage does not clearly capture the moment. This story is still developing.
