Two officers in marked vests, approached a home on Ahuimanu Road to serve a warrant to a 45-year-old man wanted in connection with a kidnapping case, who also had a warrant for his arrest. The officers reportedly identified themselves, and the man fled and got into a vehicle which he refused to get out of when ordered to by the officers. He allegedly turned on the vehicle and reversed the car, forcing the officers to jump out of the way. He then accelerated toward the officers, and the officers shot and killed him.
