Good morning, Hamilton.

More than 100 people gathered in Mt. Airy Forest Saturday night to remember 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, who was shot by police on May 1 during a stolen-car investigation after an officer said he pointed a gun as he fled—while family members disputed that account and called for an independent investigation.

Rodney Hinton Jr., 38, stands accused of killing Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Henderson with his car on May 2 near the University campus as part of a death penalty case; prosecutors allege the act was retaliation for the shooting death of his son the day before.

He is due in court on Monday, May 12—if convicted, a jury will decide whether to recommend a death sentence in a process that rarely leads to execution in Ohio.

Edgewood Schools officials said they are grateful for the tax levy renewal that will help keep funds available and avoid more than the planned $1 million in cuts for the next school year.

They warned that even with the votes, more budget cuts may be needed if rising costs continue to strain the district.
