According to reports, a father murdered a sheriff’s deputy the day after a police officer shot and killed his 18-year-old son.
When 18-year-old Ryan Hinton was shot and killed by Cincinnati police on Thursday, May 1, as he was escaping from a stolen car, the terrible chain of events began.
According to WCPO, his father, 38-year-old Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with using his vehicle to kill a sheriff’s officer only one day later. Prosecutors describe this as a deliberate and premeditated act.
Prosecuting attorney Ryan Nelson was blunt at an arraignment on Saturday. He added, “The driver lined up his vehicle in a calculated and premeditated manner, intentionally accelerated his vehicle,
And purposely caused the death of an on-duty deputy sheriff.” “Everyone present at the scene seemed to believe that he intentionally hit the deputy in an effort to kill him.”
