# Conviction of Rodney Hinton Jr. in Ohio deputy death > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/conviction-of-rodney-hinton-jr-in-ohio-deputy-death > Updated: 2026-10-26T00:27:29.000Z. Sources: 12. Developments: 2. A Hamilton County jury has convicted Rodney Hinton Jr. of murder, reckless homicide, and felonious assault for the May 2025 death of retired Deputy Larry Ray Henderson Jr. The fatal incident occurred while Henderson was working an off-duty assignment directing traffic near a University of Cincinnati graduation ceremony. The conviction follows a trial where jurors rejected Hinton’s insanity defense. His defense team argued that Hinton, who has a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder, was unable to understand the wrongfulness of his actions due to the trauma of viewing body-camera footage of his 18-year-old son, Ryan Hinton, being fatally shot by police the previous day. Prosecutors maintained that Hinton deliberately drove toward Henderson and made no attempt to slow down. The shooting of Ryan Hinton was previously determined by the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office to be legally justified, as the officer reported the teenager had pointed a loaded gun at police during a confrontation. Hinton faces a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Rodney Hinton Jr convicted of murdering Ohio sheriff's deputy Rodney Hinton Jr was convicted of murdering Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson Jr in a car collision that occurred hours after Hinton viewed footage of his son being shot and killed by police. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rodney-hinton-jr-convicted-of-murdering-ohio-sheriffs-deputy ### 2026-10-23: Rodney Hinton Jr. convicted of murder in death of Ohio deputy Rodney Hinton Jr. was found guilty of murder, reckless homicide, and felonious assault for killing Hamilton County Deputy Larry Henderson in May 2025, shortly after his son was fatally shot by police. 10 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ohio-man-found-guilty-in-death-of-former-deputy --- Cite as: Conviction of Rodney Hinton Jr. in Ohio deputy death.
