BREAKING: A Hawaii judge has rejected murder and attempted murder charges against three Honolulu police officers in the fatal shooting of a teenager, preventing the case from going to trial.
District Court Judge William Domingo, in a ruling from the bench, said there was no probable cause that the officers committed the crimes they were accused of.
Officer Geoffrey Thom was charged with murder. Prosecutors said he fired 10 rounds at Sykap through the rear window of the car after it stopped at an intersection. Officers Zackary Ah Nee and Fredeluces, who also opened fire, were charged with second-degree attempted murder. The shots were fired after Sykap he weaved in and out of traffic while traveling up to 80 mph as he led police on a high-speed chase along highways and city streets. His brother was injured in the shooting.
Police say the Honda was stolen and linked to an escalating series of crimes in the days prior, including a purse snatching, a burglary and an armed robbery. Domingo’s ruling came after a preliminary hearing held to determine whether there was probable cause for the charges.
