Frame-by-frame review of body cam video from fatal East Price Hill police shooting
In the days after a fatal Cincinnati police shooting in East Price Hill, The Enquirer has examined the brief clips of body camera footage the department released to learn more about how those "six quick seconds" unfolded.
Roughly 20 seconds of body camera video from two officers at an apartment complex the morning of May 1 show officers chasing on foot a fleeing suspect in a stolen car investigation. The suspect, whom police later identified as 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, was one of four fleeing from police, but the only one seen in the footage.
In the footage, Hinton runs from an officer, tripping on some concrete in front of a set of dumpsters. He drops what police said was a Glock .40-caliber pistol recovered at the scene. Hinton then continues between the two dumpsters with what appears to be the pistol in his right hand.
The officer alerts his partner on the other side of the dumpster that Hinton has a gun. The partner catches up to Hinton and fires five consecutive shots at him. Two bullets strike Hinton: one in the chest and one in the arm, police said.
Who are the Hintons? What we know about man charged with killing a Hamilton County deputy
Chief Teresa Theetge said in a press conference the day after the shooting that the time between when the suspects ran from police to when the shooting happened was 'six quick seconds.'
Theetge said the officer who shot Hinton believed the teen pointed the gun at him during the quick encounter. He felt threatened for his life, Theetge said.
"The individual is running with a firearm in his hand. The officer is running, so the body camera is kind of jolting as the officer is running. What that leaves us with a very blurred image, unfortunately," Theetge said. "However, based on the officer's interviews, the officer who did discharge his firearm said that when the individual came out between the dumpsters, he had the firearm in front of him. It was in kind of a bladed position, and it was pointed at the officer."
The department has not released the name of the officer who shot Hinton.
For years, the department would release the names and information about officers involved. However, in recent months, the department has been withholding that information, citing Marsy's Law, legislation meant to protect victims of crimes.
Officials say parallel investigations into the shooting are underway by the Cincinnati Police Department and the Citizen Complaint Authority.
The day after the police shooting, Hinton's father, Rodney Hinton, Jr., drove his car into a Hamilton County Sheriff's deputy directing traffic, killing him. The fatal crash came two hours after the Hinton family reviewed the body camera footage of the shooting.

K-9 Hulk helps make major cocaine bust in Kent
KENT, Ohio (WJW) — A traffic stop by a K-9 unit in Kent led to a major drug bust Saturday after a police dog helped uncover more than 80 grams of cocaine, authorities said. According to the Portage County Sheriff's Office, K-9 Hulk and his handler pulled over a vehicle on May 31 on Mogadore Road for equipment and registration violations. Ground beef sold nationwide possibly contaminated with E. Coli The sheriff's office said the driver, who was identified as Michael Lewis, 26, of Mogadore, showed signs of 'criminal activity,' prompting a further investigation. Deputies say a search of Lewis' person turned up a bundle of cocaine and two loaded Glock pistol magazines. Lewis reportedly told deputies he had 'a lot' of cocaine in the vehicle but said he had left his firearm at home. Father found dead, daughter missing after they went hiking on mountain in Maine A subsequent search of the car revealed approximately 82 grams of cocaine in total. That included one bag with about 24 grams and 16 smaller baggies containing another 58 grams, according to the sheriff's office. Lewis was arrested and charged with first-degree felony trafficking in drugs and first-degree felony possession of drugs. His vehicle was also seized.

Elsmere city councilwoman resigns after alleged misconduct and missed meetings
Hours before her fate as a council member was set to be determined at a June 4 meeting, an Elsmere city councilwoman resigned from her position effective immediately, according to an email sent to The Enquirer and other city council members. Serena Owen, who was serving her second term on Elsmere's city council submitted her letter of resignation after months during which she was accused of misconduct and missed meetings. "I am writing to formally submit my resignation from my position as a Councilwoman for the City of Elsmere, effective immediately," Owen wrote. "This decision has not been made lightly but is necessitated by the escalating challenges that have profoundly impacted my ability to serve effectively and safely," Owen said her resignation comes as a result of her fear of being shot at a public meeting by a man she claims has harassed her online, and her "repeated and justified requests for a minimal inexpensive ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) hybrid video teleconference accommodation to attend council meetings virtually (free Zoom/Teams link)" being dismissed. In March, the six-member Elsmere City Council unanimously voted to begin proceedings to remove Owen from office. Since then, they've announced seven charges against her including willful negligence and misconduct. A public meeting was set to be held June 4 from 6-7 p.m. to discuss the removal of Owen from her position on the council. The Enquirer reached out to the City of Elsmere's city clerk Katie Hehman, who declined to confirm the resignation.

Police arrest man found with loaded gun at 30-person Indianapolis school graduation brawl
An 18-year-old is facing felony charges after he was found with a gun during Perry Meridian High School's graduation ceremony on May 31. Police say they arrested the man after he was found carrying a gun after a fight involving 30 people broke out at the end of the graduation ceremony held at Southport High School, according to a probable cause affidavit. Officers at the scene heard reports that someone in the crowd might be armed. Once police arrived near the fight, the crowd dispersed, according to the report. Once officers located the man who fit the description of the person possibly carrying a weapon, they detained him and found a fully loaded Glock handgun in his waistband. The suspect denied involvement in the fight and told police that his gun was initially stored in his vehicle, but he retrieved it 'after hearing threats of violence following a disturbance,' the report says. The suspect also said he did not intend to use the weapon and was attempting to leave the area safely. More Public safety news: 'We have to protect Gabe:' Brownsburg day care abuse investigation leads to more charges Possessing a firearm on school property is against state law and could result in felony charges, something that the suspect said he was unaware of. He also voluntarily said that he had a prior juvenile firearm-related offense from June 2024. Perry Township's director of communications, Elizabeth Choi, told IndyStar that the gun never entered the school building and wasn't present during the graduation ceremony. The fight happened outside of the school building after the graduation ceremony, Choi said. Choi also said that the suspect was not a student at Perry Meridian. More school news: IPS: Some families must pay for pre-K after budget cuts The district also had its AI weapons detection system at the event and used it to screen spectators as they entered for the ceremony. 'Our weapons detection systems functioned as intended,' Choi said. 'Law enforcement acted diligently in identifying and apprehending the suspect. Safety at major school events, such as graduation, is never taken lightly — these events are the result of months of detailed planning and coordination. We find the recent allegations disheartening and continue to urge our leaders and community to promote greater awareness and use of effective conflict resolution skills.' IndyStar uses discretion in naming people accused of crimes, considering the severity of charges and available information, among other factors. Suspects may not be named if ongoing reporting of the associated court proceedings is not immediately planned.
