Hinton Convicted After Son’s Police | JQJO

Rodney Hinton Jr. was found guilty of murder, reckless homicide, and felonious assault for striking and killing Deputy Larry Ray Henderson Jr. with his car on May twenty‑one, 2025, the day after his eighteen‑year‑old son Ryan was fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer. Hinton pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, citing a psychotic episode and schizoaffective disorder. The jury determined he intentionally aimed his vehicle at the deputy, despite his mental state. He faces fifteen years to life, with parole possible after sentencing scheduled for November sixteenth. The verdict offers closure for the sheriff’s office and justice for the deceased deputy.
