CINCINATTI — A judge denied bond on Tuesday to a 38-year-old Black man who fatally struck a deputy one week after his 18-year-old son was fatally shot by police the week prior.

Police accused Rodney Hinton Jr. of intentionally hitting retired special deputy Larry Henderson with his vehicle while the former cop was directing traffic near a graduation ceremony at the University of Cincinnati on Friday. Henderson was transported to a hospital where he died.

In a court room packed with law enforcement officers, Hinton pleaded not guilty to the charge of aggravated murder. Before the hearing got underway, Rodney’s brother made an outburst in the courtroom prompting Judge Tyrone Yates to interject.

Cincinnati police confirmed Rodney’s son Ryan Hinton was fatally shot by Cincinnati police the day before. Cincinatti police were responding to a report of a stolen vehicle at an apartment complex. Officers made contact with a vehicle that had four passengers and they all fled the vehicle on foot, most in different directions. Ryan was shot after he fled on foot during a pursuit.

On Friday, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge told reporters she believed there was a connection between the fatal shooting of Ryan Hinton and the deputy being fatally struck on Friday.

Theetge said Ryan Hinton was armed at the time of the fatal shooting.

An attorney said Rodney Hinton watched a video of the fatal shooting hours before he struck the deputy with a vehicle.

At the hearing on Tuesday, Hinton’s attorney said he didn’t believe his client was in his right mind at the time. Hinton’s aunt also noted that she didn’t think Rodney Hinton seemed like his normal self the day he struck Henderson with the vehicle.

The judge agreed to remand Hinton with no bond after the state argued they were concerned Rodney Hinton could be a danger to law enforcement.
