CPD: Driver who met and killed deputies is the father of the person who was shot by the Cincinnati police

Two tragic events that found one day and several parts of the city share a family connection, according to the Cincinnati police.

The CPD leader Teresa Theetge said on Friday evening at a press conference that the driver of a vehicle who met a deputy of a Sheriff of the Hamilton County that day was the father of a person who shot the police from Cincinnati on Thursday morning when he fled from a stolen vehicle.

Theetge said Rodney Hinton Jr., 38, drove his vehicle from Martin Luther King Jr. Drive on Burnet Woods Drive and beat a deputy during the opening ceremonies of the University of Cincinnati. The deputy died a short time later. Hinton was arrested and charged with severe murder, the police said.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's office did not identify the deputy, but says that he had recently retired and was loved by his colleagues.

“It's a very sad day,” said Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey in Hamilton County at the evening conference. “He was so popular and known that we could fill this building with the law enforcement authorities who respect him, love him, his friends, his family.”

The CPD used to organize a press conference to discuss the death of Ryan Hinton, 18, who now said Rodney Hinton, Jr.'s son.

At this press conference, Theetge said that the younger Hinton was one of four people who were reported in an apartment complex East Price Hill on Thursday morning. The four suspects ran in different directions. Theetge said the officials saw Hinton with a weapon.

The police showed the incident of the incident at the press conference. No weapon is visible in this film material, which shows that Hinton runs from an officer between two dumpstains, while another officer approaches from the other. The first officer, secondly, calls for the suspect to have a weapon.

Hinton briefly falls in the film material, then gets up and runs between the Müllcontainers. Seconds after it emerges from the other side, the second officer fires four rounds and kicks it twice.

Theetge said Hinton was once in the chest and once shot through the arm and the side. Help was granted at the scene, but Hinton died. The police say that she found a semi -automatic pistol with a full magazine next to Hinton. Theetge showed photos of the weapon during the press conference. Another magazine was found in Hinton's sweatshirt, say officers. Theetge said that there is no evidence that Hinton fired the gun.

The chase occurred quickly, and about six seconds passed between what the officer shot the hinton, leaves his cruiser and when he fires his gun. Theetge admitted that the film material was blurred, but said that the official reported that Hinton had turned the weapon on him when he appeared behind the dumpcontainers.

CPD policy prohibits civil servants to use fatal violence for the fleeing suspects because it is unconstitutional, unless the escaped person who escapes is an immediate danger for the people around them. Theetge said the officer was afraid of his life.

“If you have the feeling that someone else's life or life is in danger, you have the responsibility to stop this threat,” she said. “I cannot answer how every situation should be solved. It is based on the official, and some of them contain their training, their experience, their term.”

CPD does not identify the officer and quotes the law of Marsy. Theetge said that the responding officers were uniformed police and members of the department's refugee control.

It is still unclear how exactly the two incidents are linked.

Connie Pillich, public prosecutor's office of Hamilton County, published an explanation in which the community asked to be patient and get the facts out.

“The examination has not yet been completed, but if the facts show that this law was intended, like that [aggravated murder] The indictment indicates that I will throw the full power of the law into the perpetrator, the explanation said.
