Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Steve Alm
The use of deadly force by Honolulu police officers in the shooting death of Lindani Myeni was justified, and as a result no charges will be filed, Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Steve Alm said Wednesday.
Alm spent more than an hour detailing why a two-month investigation by his office resulted in a decision not to press charges against three Honolulu Police Department officers for the shooting death of 29-year-old Myeni.
"Now, this case is a tragedy all the way around. It’s a tragedy for the Myeni family, they lost their loved one, but it’s also a tragedy for the police. When police are forced in this case take somebody’s life, that’s going to stay with them. And that should be respected as well," he said.
