Overview

• Rodney Hinton Jr., 38, is accused of intentionally killing a Hamilton County special deputy with his car while the deputy directed traffic at a University of Cincinnati graduation event.
• The incident occurred one day after Hinton's 18-year-old son, Ryan Hinton, was fatally shot by Cincinnati police during a chase involving a stolen vehicle.
• Prosecutors allege Hinton Jr.'s actions were premeditated, describing how he deliberately accelerated his car to strike the deputy, who had recently retired but was working a special detail.
• Body-camera footage from the shooting of Ryan Hinton does not clearly show him pointing a gun at officers, raising questions about the circumstances of his death.
• Cincinnati authorities are conducting separate investigations into the police shooting, the deputy's death, and the handling of body-camera evidence, while one suspect from the stolen-vehicle incident remains at large.
