Man, whose son was killed by the Cincinnati police

A man who hit and killed a representative of County on Friday is the father of a teenager who was shot the day before by a police officer from Cincinnati, the police said. The authorities said that the crash seemed to be intended.

The driver of the car, 38-year-old Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with severe murder in the death of the deputy, the police said.

Hinton appeared in court on Saturday, with a wall of MPs in the back of the room. A prosecutor said that evidence and witnesses will show that Hinton drove the deputy directly to the deputy to kill him. A judge ordered Hinton to be held up to another hearing on Tuesday.

A lawyer who represents Hilton said in court that he had no previous crimes and understands that it was a serious indictment, reported WLWT-TV.

The governor of Ohio, Mike Dewine, said in a statement that he “got sick through an intentional act of violence”.

Just a few hours before the crash, Hinton and other family members met on Friday morning in the police chief's office and saw themselves a video of the police who showed an official who shot the teenager, said Michael Wright, a lawyer hired by the family.

Hinton could not make it through the entire video and did not say a word, said Wright, who does not represent the Hinton in the crash costs.

“He was disturbed, he was angry,” said Wright on Saturday. “I can't tell you whether he was angry. He was just somehow annoyed, desperate, really angry about what he saw.”

The chief of police of Cincinnati, Teresa Theetge, said that the deputy of the Hamilton County's sheriff, who died, led the traffic near the University of Cincinnati on the end day when he was hit by a car that drove to a intersection.

The authorities identified the deputy, who went back from the department a few months ago, but continued to work on orders outside the service, said Hamilton County Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey.

“He was so popular and so well known,” said McGuffey. “What an enormous loss we all suffered.”

According to the authorities, the circumstances of the crash were still examined.

“If the facts show that this law was intended, as the indictment suggests, I will throw the full power of the law on the perpetrator,” said Connie Pillich, public prosecutor's office by Hamilton County, in a statement on Friday.

Hinton's son, the 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, was shot twice and killed by the police on Thursday during a chase after the officers answered a call about a stolen car, the police said.

The officer who had released told the investigators that the suspect pointed a gun on him during the chase, said Cincinnatis chief. During a press conference on Friday, the police showed photos of a semi -automatic pistol that they said and another weapon found in the car.

Body Camera Video On the shootout published by the police on Friday, showed that an officer with the inscription “He has a weapon, he has a weapon” before several shots were fired when Ryan was behind an apartment complex.

The video did not show how Hinton showed a weapon. The chief of police said that the pictures were blurry because both Hinton and the official ran and the camera crowded.

The officer told the investigators that Hinton “had the firearm in front of him, he was like a folding position and she was addressed to the officer and he felt threatened for his life,” said Theetge.

There was no indication that he shot the police before he was shot, she said.
