US EditionCincinnati Officer Won’t Be Charged in Shooting Death of Teen Who Was Holding a Gun During a Chase
- On June 17, 2025, Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich announced that no charges will be filed against the Cincinnati police officer involved in the May 1 fatal shooting of 18-year-old Ryan Hinton in East Price Hill.
- Pillich said the officer was legally justified because Hinton pointed a loaded gun at him during a foot chase, and the officer feared for his life.
- Police released body camera footage and photos of a semiautomatic handgun linked to Hinton, though footage did not clearly show him aiming the gun at officers.
- One day after the incident, Rodney Hinton Jr., father of Hinton, was apprehended and charged with causing the death of retired Deputy Larry Henderson by vehicle, with a trial scheduled for January 12, 2026.
- Hinton's family disputes the prosecutor's findings and plans to file a civil lawsuit, while the officer involved will not face charges, indicating official support for the use of force.
