Gino Floyd "Nino" Durden (born May 5, 1963) is a former American police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (CRASH) unit implicated in the LAPD Rampart scandal.
Durden, along with Officer Rafael Pérez, was involved in the shooting and framing of gang member Javier Ovando.
According to media reports, like the other officers directly involved, Durden was booked wearing his LAPD uniform.
Durden was charged with attempted murder, assault with a semiautomatic firearm in the Ovando shooting, filing a false report and perjury – two counts stemming from the October 25, 1996, arrest of Miguel Hernandez, who was allegedly framed on a weapons offense, second-degree robbery for allegedly stealing jewelry and money from a suspected drug dealer on August 15, 1997, and filing a false report in connection with the February 2, 1997, arrest of Jose Lara, who also was allegedly framed on a weapons charge.
He was featured in several episodes of the FOX series LAPD: Life On the Beat before his involvement in the scandal became known.
