Hinton Convicted of Murder in Death of Retired Deputy Henderson
A Hamilton County jury has found Rodney Hinton Jr. guilty of murder, reckless homicide, and felonious assault for the May 2025 death of retired deputy Larry Henderson. The verdict, reached after three days of deliberation, rejected the defense's claim of not guilty by reason of insanity. Hinton faces a mandatory sentence of 15 years to life in prison, with sentencing scheduled for November 16. The case centered on whether Hinton intentionally targeted Henderson or suffered from a mental health crisis following the fatal police shooting of his son.
