Cincinnati, Ohio (AP) — A man who struck and killed a county deputy with his car the day after his teenage son was fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer was convicted of murder Friday.

Rodney Hinton Jr. was also found guilty of reckless homicide and felonious assault for the crash last year that killed Deputy Larry Ray Henderson Jr. while he was directing traffic for a college graduation. Henderson, who had spent decades working for the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, had retired from the department a few months before the crash but was still working off-duty assignments.
