Deputy Larry Henderson was a 33-year veteran of the sheriff’s office who had served in a variety of assignments.
Sheriff Charmaine McGuffey praised the fallen deputy for his dedication to service and talent for training other deputies. “In Deputy Henderson’s early tenure as a sheriff’s deputy, I recognized his talent for teaching and presentation. Larry began his journey as a sheriff’s office trainer early in his career. He developed an expertise and became an excellent trainer. Subsequently, he trained divisions of the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office that included hundreds of deputy sheriffs. His ability to relate to and touch officers’ lives was extraordinary. We will continue to honor Larry’s life of service,” she said in a Facebook statement.
The suspect in the murder of Deputy Henderson is Rodney Hinton Jr. He is reportedly the father of 18-year-old Ryan Hinton who was killed by Cincinnati Police on Thursday May 1 during an investigation of a stolen car.
Ryan Hinton was one of four suspects in the vehicle when police arrived at a Cincinnati apartment complex where the vehicle was parked. All of the occupants of the vehicle got out and tried to escape.
Ryan Hinton was fatally shot by one of the officers when he ran between two dumpsters toward the officer while carrying a pistol with an extended magazine, Chief Teresa Theetge said during a Friday press conference. Body camera video shows another officer at the scene warning that the suspect has a gun. The suspect also slipped with the gun while fleeing and it hit the pavement near one of the dumpsters making a metallic clink, according to Theetge.
The officer said the suspect pointed the weapon at him, according to Theetge, she added that the shooting occurred six seconds after the officers arrived on scene.
The other three suspects ran into a wooded area and two were captured with the aid of K-9s and drones, Theetge said.
Ryan Hinton’s father Roy Hinton Jr. was reportedly leaving a viewing of video from the police shooting of his son when Deputy Larry Henderson was struck and killed.
Roy Hinton Jr. is charged with aggravated murder in the death of the deputy.
The Cincinnati Fraternal Order of Police lodge is calling for the prosecutor to seek the death penalty in the case.
“On behalf of all of Cincinnati law enforcement, we demand that the prosecutor seek the death penalty against this criminal who purposefully murdered a law enforcement officer,” FOP President Ken Kober said in a Facebook statement. “There’s no room for anything less than the death penalty and we call on Prosecutor Pillich to confirm she will seek it.”
