A disturbance broke out in an Ohio courtroom on Tuesday as Rodney Hinton Jr., the man accused of killing a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy on May 2, a day after his son was fatally shot by Cincinnati police, appeared for a bond hearing.
Hinton Jr. is accused of fatally striking retired Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson, who was directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati during a Friday graduation ceremony, with a vehicle.
Hinton's 18-year-old son, Ryan Hinton, died after being shot by police on May 1 while officers were pursuing a stolen vehicle. During the pursuit, four individuals exited the stolen car and fled authorities. One officer pursued Hinton, who was allegedly armed at the time and hid behind a dumpster. When Ryan emerged from the dumpster, the officer fired, fatally striking the 18-year-old suspect.
