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.

4th suspect arrested in connection to vehicle theft that led to police shooting
A fourth suspect was arrested in connection to a vehicle theft that led to a police shooting in East Price Hill May 1, Cincinnati Police Department officials said. Cynsere Grigsby, 18, is charged with receiving stolen property and felony obstruction of official business, officials said. Around 9:30 a.m., Cincinnati police responded to Westview Condominiums in East Price Hill for reports of a stolen vehicle. Police confronted four suspects in a 2021 Kia Telluride that was recently stolen out of Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge said. All four suspects fled the Kia and started running from the police. Three of the suspects ran into the woods. After an extensive search, Jurell Austin, 18, and 19-year-old Deanthony Bullocks were arrested and charged with receiving stolen property and obstructing official business in connection with the incident, Theetge said May 2. She had initially reported the third suspect who ran into the woods had evaded arrest. While three of the suspects ran into the woods, 18-year-old Ryan Hinton did not. One officer started chasing Hinton and the officer saw the Hinton's gun and called out to let others know there was a weapon, Theetge said. 'He's got a gun. He's got a gun,' the officer yelled. Hinton tripped but continued to run between two dumpsters with a gun in his hand, before he encountered another officer, Theetge said. She added that police on the scene reported hearing the handgun fall to the ground and images showed scrapes on the weapon, likely from when it fell. The other officer was pursuing someone else when Hinton emerged from between the dumpsters, Theetge said. The body camera showed the officer fired four to five rounds at Hinton as he ran in the officer's direction While it's unclear from the blurred body camera footage, Theetge said, the officer who fired the shots said in interviews that Hinton pointed the gun at him. Hinton was struck twice by gunfire, once in the chest and once in the arm, Theetge said. She added that there's no indication the suspect fired off any rounds at police, but the gun was loaded with an extended magazine. The department has not released the name of the officer who shot the person in East Price Hill. 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 have been launched by the Cincinnati Police Department and the city's Citizen Complaint Authority.
