Funeral held for Ohio deputy who authorities say was intentionally run over

On May 2, Rodney Hinton Jr. Deliberately struck and killed Larry Henderson, a deputy from Hamilton County, while Henderson was directing traffic at a graduation event at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati.
The incident followed Hinton viewing bodycam footage of his son being fatally shot by Cincinnati police the previous day, which contributed to his upset emotional state.
Henderson was a 57-year-old retired deputy who had returned to work special traffic details and was wearing a reflective vest when Hinton accelerated directly at him, intentionally targeting law enforcement.
Hinton has been indicted on five counts including two for aggravated murder, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty based on his intent to kill an officer.
Officers across the region mourn Henderson’s death, attending support sessions and planning a funeral motorcade, while authorities stress the traumatic impact on law enforcement communities.
