The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office had just posted on Facebook in December about celebrating his retirement from the force. The post has since been deleted.
McGuffey also announced in her statement on Sunday announcing Henderson's death that his badge number of #129 will be permanently retired from the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
Henderson was working a special detail with the sheriff's office to help assist with traffic around UC's campus as graduation ceremonies were underway there on Friday. After being struck by the car at the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Burnet Woods Drive at approximately 1 p.m., he was rushed to nearby UC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Immediately after the incident, the car's driver, 38-year-old Rodney Hinton Jr., was arrested and charged with aggravated murder in connection with Henderson's death.
Hinton's son, 18-year-old Ryan Hinton, had just been shot and killed by Cincinnati police the morning before. According to a statement put out by legal representatives of the Hinton family on Saturday, Rodney Hinton had just recently departed from Cincinnati police headquarters prior to striking Henderson. The statement says that Hinton had just been shown the body camera footage of his son's death, which caused him to be "distraught" throughout the entire meeting.
McGuffey said that her office will share more details about funeral plans for Henderson in the coming days.
