Suspect Wanted For Murder Dies In Officer-Involved Shooting
Hawai‘i island police had been searching for the 28-year-old man after witnesses said he shot and killed his ex-girlfriend’s sister.
A suspect wanted in a murder investigation has died after an officer-involved shooting Tuesday night.
Hawai‘i island police said they were looking for Isaiah Kaleo Jiaan Fourshey, 28, of Mountain View, who allegedly shot and killed a 25-year-old woman in Puna Tuesday morning.
Police said Fourshey was considered to be armed and dangerous.
Around 6 p.m., an officer-involved shooting involving Forshey took place near the Nāmakanipaio Campground off Highway 11 in Volcano, officers said.
Authorities said that Fourshey was transported to the Hilo Benioff Medical Center where he died around 8 p.m.
Officials said that neither police personnel, National Park Service rangers, or bystanders were injured.
A portion of Highway 11 was closed at the campground during the incident and has since reopened, police said.
Hawai‘i police said that it has initiated a critical incident review, and two personnel with the department have been placed on administrative leave.
The investigation is ongoing.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has primary jurisdiction and has taken over the investigation since the incident took place within the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
Correction: Because of a Civil Beat editing error, a previous version of this story misidentified the relationship between Fourshey and the woman he is accused of killing.
