Anthony Lamont Hinton was a 14-year-old African American boy from Cincinnati who was shot and killed on June 30, 2019, in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. His death came during a month of unusually deadly violence in the city and was one of several homicides that June.

The Cincinnati Police Department opened a homicide investigation. On August 21, 2019, 27-year-old Perry Cameron was arrested by the CPD Homicide Unit with help from the Fugitive Apprehension Squad on an open murder warrant in connection with Anthony’s killing. The community held a vigil in Grant Park where friends, family, and residents gathered to mourn and call for an end to neighborhood violence.

Anthony’s death prompted public discussion about youth violence, the need for grief counseling, and community-based programs to prevent future tragedies. If anyone knew Anthony or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
