HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - New city Prosecutor Steve Alm pledged Thursday to change the way investigations of police killings are handled in the wake of two fatal shootings this month.
“This is a new administration and we are looking at all of the practices and procedures, and we are going to do things differently,” Alm said, during a news conference Thursday.
Alm said he would be assigning teams of seasoned prosecutors and investigators to the two cases — the fatal police shootings of 29-year-old Lindani Myeni on April 14 and 16-year-old Iremamber Sykap on April 5.
