Rodney Hinton, Ohio Father, whose son was killed by the police

A man from Ohio who mourns after his son was fatally shot by the police is now being accused of deliberately hit and killed the deputy of a sheriff.

The police said Rodney Hinton Jr. met the officer in Cincinnati, Ohio, the day after the death of his 18-year-old son Ryan Hinton. Hinton Jr. is now charged with severe murder.

What do the prosecutors say about Rodney Hinton Jr. deliberately a deputy?

The prosecutor Ryan Nelson said that the father's plans were “calculated and deliberately”.

“He set up his car, intentionally accelerated his car and deliberately caused the death of a non -servant deputy sheriff,” said Nelson on Saturday, according to ABC News.

What do the representatives of Hinton Jr. say about the tragedy of the family and the indictment against the father?

Hinton Jr.'s lawyer said that his client was exposed to a “very serious, very terrible indictment”, but he has no crime to worry about.

“I understand that this is an emotionally stressed situation,” said the lawyer, noticing Ryan's death according to ABC news. “I understand that there is a lot of sadness and a lot of trouble in this room at the moment and in the community.”

Lawyers from the Hinton family said they were committed to examine Ryan's case. The representatives said that Rodney Hinton and other family members had met with the police on Friday to see the camera film material of the fatal incident with the teenager.

“Ryan Hinton's family, including Ryan's father, was present at the meeting and they were understandably disturbed when they looked at the bodycam video,” said the lawyers. “After the meeting with the police authority, Ryan left Hinton's father in his own vehicle, and that was the last time we heard from him until he learned something about the tragic incident with a law enforcement officer who worked a traffic detail near the University of Cincinnati.”

Although the department did not identify the killed officials, the police said that it was a recently retired officer who served in a special property.

What happened in the fatal incident between Ryan Hinton and the police?

The chief of police of Cincinnati, Teresa Theetge, spoke on Friday about the fatal incident during a press conference. Theetge said four suspects had jumped from a car that was assumed that he was stolen when the police were persecuted. According to Theetge, one of the four people was identified as Ryan Hinton. A still picture from the body camera film material showed that Hinton fell near two dumpstains when he tried to run away, reported WCPO.

Theetge said the teenage had a gun and the officials heard the metal of the weapon when he fell. When Ryan tried to hide between the two dumpstains, the officer who fired the shots screamed “weapon”. The officer shot about five shots and scored Ryan with two of these balls, said Theetge and found that the film material was blurry.

“The person runs with a firearm in their hands and the official runs so that the body camera falsifies and which unfortunately gives us a very blurred picture,” said Theetge.

The chief of police added that the official was in danger because Ryan allegedly had the gun on him.
