SPEAKER_00 0:03

This is D'Anthony Bullocks and Jarell Austin. Just moments earlier, police heard the two had been inside a stolen car connected to a dangerous shooting spree in a Cincinnati neighborhood.

SPEAKER_02 0:15

Or it could be a homicide, we don't know yet. But why we're we got drones and we got dogs, so.

SPEAKER_00 0:19

Now officers were racing to find them. But as the search began, investigators realized something far more dangerous. There was a third suspect involved, and according to police, he was the one carrying the gun.

SPEAKER_09 0:40

They're down in the woods down here. I can't see him. I'm not going down there though. Hey, we don't need to look into a crossfire here.

SPEAKER_00 0:49

Within minutes, what started as a routine search for suspects would spiral into a deadly officer-involved shooting. A shooting that would ignite controversy, multiple arrests, and a chain of events that no one saw coming. The car was along Warsaw Avenue in East Price Hill. The vehicle had been stolen earlier that day from Edgewood, Kentucky, and was tracked by the owner using a GPS. What seems like a routine stolen vehicle recovery quickly took a turn. Inside the car were suspects Ryan Hinton, D.Anthony Bullocks, and Darrell Austin. The moment officers approached, the doors flew open and the suspects bolted, scattering in different directions through the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_04 3:11

Good.

SPEAKER_11 3:12

Yeah. I was and he fell through the woods and I was crawling through the woods and And just like that, all three suspects were loose in the neighborhood.

SPEAKER_00 3:25

Within moments, officers across East Price Hill began converging on the area, spreading through nearby streets and alleys in an urgent effort to locate the fleeing suspects before they could disappear. And as multiple police units were now en route to the area, what started as a routine response was quickly growing into a much larger operation as officers realized the potential danger to nearby civilians. Then, a call came over the radio. One of the suspects had just been spotted near a library, nearly two miles from the original confrontation.

SPEAKER_04 3:59

Put the phone down! Put the phone down! I'll go hands on hands, I'll go hands.

SPEAKER_08 4:04

Put your hands behind your back.

SPEAKER_17 4:08

I'll go hands, I'll go hands up. I go hands, I go hands. Put your hands behind your back. Hands behind your back.

SPEAKER_08 4:13

I do not do, bro.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

What the f I'm gonna kill us? I just came outside. What the free came out? I have a deer shop on the phone, my buddy and everything. I got I got I have a deer shot. What the fuck? Ease your chest. Y'all just pointed guns at me. Y'all just came over pointed guns and sh at me. What the fuck did I do?

SPEAKER_00 4:51

Officers soon detained the first suspect near the library. At first, it looked like a breakthrough. One of the three suspects had finally been caught, but the suspect insisted he had nothing to do with the incident, claiming he had simply been walking through the area. Still, to officers on scene, he matched the description perfectly. As they questioned him outside, another officer stepped inside the library to alert staff about the unfolding situation and see if anyone else was hiding inside.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Yeah, we had it, we had one, and we're tracking the suspects now, so we're gonna go in and hold on just a minute. We had a um we had a shooting, and that that's why I was trying to get to you guys, because I knew you opened at 10 and I didn't look for the detail. Okay. Um so I was trying to get to you as soon as I can, but he's matching the description of there were three individuals that was involved in the shooting. Um could possibly be a homicide, but it happened real close to the library. So I was just trying to get to you quickly. And he matched Okay. So um that's why I was trying to get to you guys because I knew you opened at 10. So um it possibly could be a homicide, we don't know yet, but we have three suspects, so we're that's why we're we got drones and we got dogs, so but you have a detail, so that's good. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 6:15

After the officer finished clearing the library, attention returned to the detained suspect outside. At first, it seemed officers had successfully caught one of the fleeing suspects, but that moment of relief wouldn't last long. As officers continued to question him, they soon realized something was wrong. The man they had detained wasn't one of the suspects after all.

SPEAKER_01 6:37

Yeah, though. Literally, I just told them that. Y'all came at me. Now if I had DS on I seen y'all pulling up, I would have ran. I ain't gonna lie. I would've ran. I'm I'm gonna tell y'all too. I would have took out. These pops would have came off and everything. I would I would've took out. I ain't gonna lie. But I ain't do nothing, so I ain't got no reason to run. I ain't doing it. I don't know. I ain't got no reason to run, none of that.

SPEAKER_17 7:16

You ain't got more time.

SPEAKER_13 7:19

Nothing. Uh uh. Have you fired any guns today? No fireworks or anything? No. Okay, listen. Nobody shot at a police officer today. Okay. Did you shoot at a police officer today? Yes, sir. Do you mind if I say the TSR? This is gonna tell me if you shot a gun today or not. Okay, all right.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

I was gonna like this. They start laughing. Yeah, yeah, I oh yeah, I don't mind.

SPEAKER_00 8:03

Officers eventually tested the detained man for gunpowder residue, and the results came back clean. Just like that, officers realized they had the wrong person. The man was released, leaving all three suspects still on the run. But only moments later, another 911 call came in from several miles away. A woman reported that her gun had just been stolen. What officers didn't realize yet was that the weapon would soon be linked directly to one of the fleeing suspects.

SPEAKER_03 8:33

Um, sometimes. And it's not a whole lot of people that live on the street, but sometimes I I know last night I left it open. Yeah. I know I left it unlocked. I know that for a fact. Um, but it's been plenty of times where I've left my car door unlocked, and I think it was everyone. And unfortunately, I'm not up at three and four in the morning. Here's the problem that I run into. Um, I bought my gun when I got my gun license. Um, it was five years ago. Okay, I got it from the Pro Bath up in um Forest Fair. Yes, the old Cincinnati Mills. Well, I just are they needed two years?

SPEAKER_07 9:12

So I wasn't sure if um check out my driver, please.

SPEAKER_03 9:16

I went to go uh uh what was that? I went to call the police. The lady at the police station said I need to call to see because I didn't know what the serial number I have it was they should have it though if you call it you call them and they don't have it. I called um I called um I called the one over in the Cincinnati Mills that's closed down. So I called the one over in West Chester, yeah, because that's where they moved. So he said that they have already taken those files up and they've been sent to corporate. So I have to call corporate. Corporate told me to call ATF.

SPEAKER_10 9:51

So here's what we can do. I I mean, unfortunately with these car break-ins, there's not really a whole lot of first fingerprints and that, but um you know, to be more like insurance purposes, and then to try to get that gun in the system. So I can do the report now, okay, and then if you get that serial number, you just call the district. So, but my thing is, what um what if I can't get into ATF?

SPEAKER_03 10:14

I am a single mom. I have three boys, one of my babies are autistic. I don't get into trouble.

SPEAKER_10 10:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:19

I don't want nobody out here going past the case.

SPEAKER_10 10:22

So, okay, yeah, but okay, so here's the thing. For some reason, you can't get through to them by eventually I think you'll get through to them. Because I sent the email. It might a couple of times. It might be time consuming, but I think eventually you'll get through to them.

SPEAKER_00 10:37

Officers kept the report in mind as they continued canvassing the surrounding area, hoping to locate one of the suspects. But as the hours passed, with no sign of them, more units joined the search. What had started as a simple investigation was quickly turning into a massive manhunt across the area. With that, officers split into teams and began retracing the last locations where the suspects had been seen, hoping the next lead would finally bring them closer.

SPEAKER_12 11:16

Get back, go, go, go. Last order.

SPEAKER_04 11:24

Please call out, get up there, please call it now.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

As officers searched the inside of the block, they found nothing. With no sign of the suspects, they shifted their focus outward, expanding the search to the outside of the building. As time continued to pass, officers and the SWAT team began to feel the pressure. Lead after lead had gone cold, and it seemed the suspects might have slipped away. But just as things were starting to look bleak, one of the search teams on the other side of the neighborhood launched a drone and spotted a suspect running into a wooded area. With that, officers quickly formed a plan to trap the suspect from both sides. One group moved to the front, creating noise to distract him, while another team quietly approached from behind. The tactic is known as a pincer movement, a strategy commonly used by police to prevent a suspect from escaping, control the area from multiple angles, and allow one team to approach while the other keeps the suspect distracted.

SPEAKER_04 13:47

Come out of here and show me your fing hands! Walk to me! Yeah, right here. Go further up, further up that way. They're running this way.

SPEAKER_09 13:58

569 Mount Hope, they're in the woods.

SPEAKER_04 14:10

They're down in the woods down here. I can't see them. Black shirt should be towards you, you little towards you.

SPEAKER_00 14:20

With the first group keeping the suspect distracted, the second team quietly moved in from behind. And within moments, they were able to capture him.

SPEAKER_07 14:48

I got one in white shirts. We're still having one more and large. Tommy, gunfire. Where are we at? It is not a shot by it as uh uh district. Copy our tunnel discharge.

SPEAKER_00 16:02

Eventually, officers managed to capture the first of the three suspects and place him in custody. Their focus now shifted to the remaining two. But the situation was becoming more complicated. Officers reviewing nearby CCTV footage were only able to clearly identify two individuals on camera. One of them had already been detained, but the other, dressed entirely in black, was still missing. Even worse, there was still a third suspect unaccounted for. At that moment, officers didn't know what he was wearing or where he had gone. What they would later realize was that he was the one carrying the gun.

SPEAKER_04 16:46

Fucking shut the fuck up.

SPEAKER_00 16:48

Now, imagine seeing so much more. Well, that's why we went all out and decided to create channels in every niche, which are still based on true crime for you to enjoy. I mean, who doesn't like seeing people's reactions like these?

SPEAKER_08 17:02

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 17:05

From no commentary to just interrogation. Because I know some of you guys hate that, but that's not the end. We really enjoy what we are building, so we have an exclusive Patreon community where they get first hand access to anything we post and all uncensored footage and images. And some of the things are truly horrifying. Then, just as the search continued, another group of officers nearly three miles away made another breakthrough. They spotted a second suspect, quickly moved in, and were able to detain him.

SPEAKER_17 17:41

3122, I got one coming down at me at uh Warsaw and Glenway. Step down here.

SPEAKER_16 17:50

Keep your hands where I can f see him. Step down here. Walk towards me.

unknown 17:59

I got a hand.

SPEAKER_16 18:00

Okay. Step towards me. Keep walking towards me. Drop it! Go ahead and turn around for me. Walk backwards towards me.

SPEAKER_06 18:14

Where's that officer?

SPEAKER_13 18:24

He is wearing a black mask. I'm literally on my way to work. I work right here.

SPEAKER_05 18:35

I don't think that's a wall.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

Went down behind 28 carrows. So they're headed down toward Warsaw Avenue, one wearing a white t-shirt, one wearing a black t-shirt, both now black.

SPEAKER_16 18:51

I work right here.

SPEAKER_13 18:57

I can tell you how the route I just walked. I want to draw you, so I don't know where you are. We just had a shooting, right?

SPEAKER_00 19:06

But as officers began confirming his identity, the breakthrough quickly fell apart. They soon realized they had made yet another mistaken arrest.

SPEAKER_17 19:19

Two of the guys that ran from us came from right up there. That's why you're being stopped, okay? Okay, as long as everything checks out, you're fine, okay? I appreciate your cooperation. That's what that's why nobody's hurt right now, okay? That's why we're stopping you, okay? I apologize. Can I please call my wife? Give us just a second.

SPEAKER_05 19:37

All right.

SPEAKER_17 19:39

Sounds like you might have been at the wrong place the wrong time. Yeah, I'll show my way to work.

SPEAKER_13 19:48

Hey Dick, hey, check him already. Hey Dick?

SPEAKER_05 19:51

Okay.

SPEAKER_13 19:52

Alright, my man. You are at the wrong place at the wrong time.

SPEAKER_07 19:57

I apologize about it.

SPEAKER_17 20:00

We're good if they already if they already checked him out, we're good.

SPEAKER_07 20:03

312 copy.

SPEAKER_17 20:06

I did not.

SPEAKER_07 20:09

I didn't hear what you said.

SPEAKER_06 20:10

We appreciate your cooperation. Thank you. You're good. You're good. Um I would suggest we go.

SPEAKER_13 20:22

Um see it on a news tonight. What happened? All right. That's what we played wrong. I'll probably try to get a lot of people.

SPEAKER_17 20:28

Yeah, he can't popped out right of this walk with. I was like, and it happened right there. I'm like, no, baby, no.

SPEAKER_13 20:34

Ah, not today. All right, we'll go back down the state street since there's a lot of things.

SPEAKER_17 20:38

I appreciate it. I uh I gave me a bit of a little bit of the oh sh.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

With two suspects still on the run, officers brought in canine units to help track them down. The dogs were given the scent from the stolen car, allowing them to begin following the trail of the people who had been inside. At first, it looked promising as the canine units quickly picked up movement through the neighborhood, but the trail wouldn't be easy. Officers knew the scent could disappear at any moment. Still, they pressed forward, releasing the canines and beginning the search through nearby yards and wooded areas. Unfortunately, officers still had no success locating the suspects. As the canine units began pulling back from the search area, another unit received a new tip. Someone reported seeing a suspect either hiding in or running past a nearby garage. With that information, officers quickly moved in to take control of the area and investigate the new lead.

SPEAKER_12 23:01

We got plenty of time.

SPEAKER_15 23:11

I'm just gonna go okay.

SPEAKER_14 23:17

Stay low, just stay low on it. Okay, clear back. Clear back this way.

SPEAKER_12 23:23

I'm gonna go ahead and open it. Why don't you already?

SPEAKER_14 23:35

I don't see nothing in the backseat. Chunk and backseat look clear to me. Clear all the way to the floor. Back here down.

SPEAKER_00 23:45

Yet again, officers found no sign of the suspects. Lead after lead either led to empty areas or the wrong person. Just as it seemed like the search was coming to a dead end, the unit positioned at the top of a nearby hill spotted something. A man dressed entirely in black, moving through the area.

SPEAKER_07 24:14

569 in the woods. Yeah. What's that address again? 27.

SPEAKER_00 24:45

Using the same tactic as before, officers moved to flank the suspect from both sides of the wooded area, slowly pushing him out toward an open clearing. What the suspect didn't know was that an entire unit of officers was already waiting for him on the other side.

SPEAKER_14 25:47

Step over here.

SPEAKER_12 25:51

Down this way. One on the other side. Alright, cool. No, we're good to go with him.

SPEAKER_00 26:19

With two of the three suspects now in custody, it looked like officers were finally gaining control of the situation. But there was still a major problem. Earlier in the day, a woman had reported that her gun had been stolen, and officers still hadn't found it on either of the suspects. That meant the last suspect still on the run could very well be armed. So while some officers transported the first two suspects to the station to be identified, the rest remained on high alert, continuing the search for the final suspect still somewhere out there. Just as officers began gaining control of the situation, another 911 call came in. A homeowner reported seeing someone running through their backyard. The caller didn't realize it at the time, but the person they had just seen was the final suspect officers had been searching for. And because the sighting was so close to where units were already positioned, officers immediately knew they were closing in.

SPEAKER_12 27:30

Nope.

SPEAKER_15 27:36

Down to the right!

SPEAKER_09 27:43

I'm not going down there though.

SPEAKER_00 27:49

When officers arrived and checked the backyard, they quickly realized the suspect had already moved on. But this time, they weren't going to lose the trail. Instead of stopping the search, officers pushed forward, following the path straight into a nearby wooded area where the suspect had just fled.

SPEAKER_09 28:24

I thought they got the white shirt. Hey, we don't want to all walk into a crossfire here.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

And within seconds of entering the wooded area, officers spotted him.

SPEAKER_04 28:53

He's got a gun! He's got a gun! On your right!

SPEAKER_16 29:14

Don't fucking move! Don't move! Don't move! Don't move! Don't fucking move! Don't move. Don't fucking move! Don't move!

SPEAKER_12 29:26

Where'd where'd you see it? Where'd you see it? Where'd you see it?

SPEAKER_16 29:36

Don't reach! Don't reach! Don't reach!

SPEAKER_00 29:44

As quickly as the encounter began, it was over. The two officers searching the wooded area spotted the suspect holding a gun and pointing it toward them. Fearing for their safety, the officers opened fire. In total, five shots were fired. But even as the shots rang out, officers immediately called for an ambulance, rushing to get the suspect medical help.

SPEAKER_17 30:10

I got the magazine.

unknown 30:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 30:38

Good.

SPEAKER_15 30:45

You stand here with me.

SPEAKER_00 30:51

Despite the efforts of officers and medical personnel at the scene, the suspect was later pronounced deceased. He was eventually identified as 18-year-old Ryan Hinton. With that, officers had finally located all of the suspects involved, but it had come at a cost. And as the minutes passed, news of Ryan Hinton's death began spreading quickly, eventually reaching his family.

SPEAKER_08 31:31

Thank you.

SPEAKER_15 31:42

I'm a small subjects that are 32 along with might be family of the uh close.

SPEAKER_14 32:02

SPEAKER_08 32:02

Hey, there's nobody in there.

SPEAKER_14 32:05

Do you want to talk to somebody?

SPEAKER_08 32:06

Yes, we don't know. We don't, we just got a phone call. We don't know this is our nephew. We his mother's not in the state. We're his family. We're his family.

SPEAKER_15 32:16

Um so all the investigators are down at 801 Lynn Street. Do you know where that is? That's the name number one. Not not district one, it's the the criminal investigation section. I don't know where that's at the corner of West State and Lynn Street. Okay. Do you know where that shell station is? In like the White Castle?

SPEAKER_08 32:34

SPEAKER_15 32:34

SPEAKER_08 33:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

She is as Ryan Hinton's family struggled to process the news, the medical examiner would later release the findings of his autopsy. According to the report, Hinton had been struck by three rounds. One round entered under his left arm and passed through his chest, critically damaging his heart before exiting near the center of his chest. Another round struck his left forearm, causing a non-fatal soft tissue injury. A third round caused a soft tissue wound near his upper back and right shoulder area. Investigators determined that the chest wound, the one that struck his heart, was the fatal injury and was likely the first shot that hit him. Back at the station, officers sat the two suspects down and were able to identify them as 19-year-old D'Anthony Bullocks and 18-year-old Gerelle Austin. During questioning, both admitted they had been inside the stolen car with Ryan Hinton. The car had been stolen earlier that day from Kentucky, and when officers approached the vehicle, all of them ran. Bullocks and Austin told investigators they fled through the neighborhood trying to get away, which is why officers had to search the area using drones, canine units, and multiple patrol teams before finally arresting them. However, both suspects insisted they had nothing to do with the shooting. Investigators later confirmed that neither of them fired a weapon. According to police, the only person armed at the time was Ryan Hinton, who officers say pointed a gun toward them before the shooting occurred. In the end, the death of Ryan Hinton quickly became the center of a growing legal battle as his family began demanding answers and calling for a full investigation into the officer-involved shooting. Just days later, the situation took an even more tragic turn when Hinton's father, Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with aggravated murder after allegedly driving his car into a Hamilton County Sheriff's as a protest. Meanwhile, the two surviving suspects from the stolen vehicle, D'Anthony Bullocks and Jarrell Austin, were charged in connection with the incident and later pleaded guilty to obstructing official business.
