Two tragic events unfolded in Ohio within a day, beginning with a teenager being shot and killed by Cincinnati police. Following this, the teen’s father allegedly targeted a retired sheriff’s deputy with his car after witnessing his son’s death on video, as per a family lawyer who spoke to The Post.

Rodney Hinton Jr. appeared in court Saturday to face an aggravated murder charge in the death of the deputy, prosecutors said.

Just two hours before the fatal incident involving the deputy, the father, Hinton Jr., aged 38, along with other family members, had met with Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa A. Theetge. The purpose of the meeting was to watch the police body camera footage capturing the death of his son Ryan.

Ryan Hinton and three others had been accused of car theft in the East Price Hill area of Cincinnati the day before the tragic events. The stolen vehicle they were in had a tracking device installed by its owner, which led the officers to approach the car when they noticed it, based on reports.

The teens immediately began to run, footage showed. Police believed Ryan Hinton, 18, was armed and opened fire, fatally shooting him, Hinton family attorney, Michael Wright, told The Post.

“The father left the room before he even saw the end of the video,” Wright told The Post. “He was very upset, very distraught. Watching your son being killed… I can’t imagine that pain.”

The officer who opened fire said Ryan Hinton had pointed the weapon at him.

The teen was shot twice in the chest and arm, Theetge said at a news conference. She said the weapon was loaded but there was no indication he shot at police.

The officer who shot Hinton Jr. is on paid administrative leave for a week while the department reviews the incident, Wright said.

Wright, a close friend of civil rights attorney Ben Crump, said the Hinton family hired him to investigate the shooting and that the family viewed only a short clip of the incident.

The Hintons are African-American. The retired deputy sheriff, who died in the hospital Friday, is believed to be white.

The deputy had retired in December but returned for a gig directing traffic near the University of Cincinnati campus during graduation ceremonies when Rodney Hinton Jr. struck and killed him, Cincinnati police told local media.

Other deputies crowded the courtroom Saturday in support of their fallen colleague, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. Judge Tyrone Yates set no bond for Hinton Jr., who is next due in court Tuesday.
