“Although I am certainly grateful that nobody else was injured, our main focus was always to bring Lucrisia into custody,” said Benjamin Moszkowicz, head of the Hawaii police authority. “Unfortunately, his own actions prevented this hope from becoming reality.”

The police say that Lucrisia's alleged crime started in the early morning when Lucrisia fired a weapon in Mountain View's residence in the residence of his ex-girlfriend. As a criminal, it is illegal for Lucrisien to own or own a firearm or ammunition.

Since March 10, Lucrisia is said to have returned to the residence of his ex-girlfriend. During the time, the police said that he stole a bag from a bedridden 75-year-old woman in the residence and added his robbery.

On March 14, Lucrisia in Hilo was spotted in a white pickup, which was operated by 23-year-old Silas Zion. The officers approached the vehicle and pointed out the couple to switch off and leave the car, only so that Lucrisia supposedly opened the fire to the police.

An officer was hit in the arm and again in the head. Later he was flown to O'ahu for treatment, where the police said he was in a critical but stable state and is expected to recover completely.

The police at the crime scene returned the fire. It is not known whether one of the rounds of Lucrisia or Zion has met. The truck then fled from the scene towards the airport.

Later this afternoon, the Zion police were able to find and arrested and arrested the white pickup in which the duo was sitting at the time of the shot. According to the police, blood was found in the vehicle.

Around 3 p.m. on March 16, the police received reports of a home vasion in the Ihop Road in Mountain View. During the study it became known that the intruder was Lucrisia and that he had joined the residence and threatened the residents, which finally stolen the keys to her car.

About a dozen detectives and other employees were nearby and immediately reacted to the scene where they drove the Ihope Road and the Stainback Highway, in which Zion was arrested days earlier.

As a civil servant, Lucrissia opened, armed with a rifle and a pistol, while hiding in a vehicle, the fire on detective. When the suspect continued to fire in the staff, an officer replied the fire, and Lucrisia finally listened to the fire.

The police tried to contact Lucrisia and was able to send an unmanned drone to the area in which the suspect no longer reacted in the back seat of the vehicle. During the medical assessment it was found that Lucrisia had died. No officers were injured in this shootout.

“I would like to recognize that there was fear and pain and concern that this situation caused us and when violence breaks out in our neighborhoods, nobody wins,” said Hawaii Mayor Kimo Alameda. “This was a tragic and deeply disturbing event and my heart goes to everyone involved. This is a memory of the risks [police] Take every day to make sure we are safe. “

The investigation is still underway because the officials want to determine who, if someone, has supported Lucrisia in their run. Those with information are asked to call the Big Island Police non-emergency line under (808) 935-3311.
