The city Department of the Medical Examiner is “requesting that you re-direct your inquiry to the Honolulu Police Department’s Public Information Officer, ” officials said in a statement to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Medical Examiner officals added that the newspaper “may consider submitting a new request at a later date.”
An HPD spokesperson told the Star-Advertiser that the department “cannot disclose any further information while the investigation is ongoing.”
The man shot by police has six prior felony convictions, Chief Arthur “Joe ” Logan said at a news conference Sunday evening.
The barricade situation on a boat near Sand Island ended when the man pointed a shotgun at officers and was shot in the cheek, Logan said. The victim refused to surrender and receive medical aid at first but officers were able to get him to Emergency Medical Services personnel after about 30 to 40 minutes.
He was treated and taken to a hospital where he later was pronounced dead.
