Doorbell video emerges in Hawaii police-involved shooting death

Lawyers representing the widow of a man shot by Honolulu police in April released new doorbell camera footage showing that he apologized to a couple after following them into their short-term rental property and left before officers responded to the woman’s frantic 911 call.

The lawyer claims the city attempted to block the release of the doorbell camera footage. Clips of body camera footage released by police three months ago showed Myeni ignored police commands to get on the ground and started throwing punches before he was shot in the struggle with officers.  Three officers were injured and one was hospitalized with facial and head injuries, HawaiiNewsNow reported. But Bickerton says the newly doorbell camera footage tells a different story – that Myeni said sorry and attempted to leave, placing the blame on officers for then escalating the situation once they arrived outside the home and not identifying themselves to Myeni. Myeni would not have known the people shining bright lights in his eyes were police, the family's lawsuit said.
