Honolulu Police release body camera footage of the shooting death of Lindani Myeni Wednesday night in Nuuanu.

Lawyer for Lindani Myeni's family reviews body camera video: officers didn't announce themselves, "He was good man who's now dead because HPD didn't train their officers properly". Honolulu acting deputy chief Allan Nagata defended his officers who shot and killed South African rugby player Lindani Myeni on Wednesday, saying they “did everything right” as they were in “the fight for their lives”.

According to media reports, officers from the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) were forced to use lethal force when Myeni allegedly attacked them, injuring three of their officers, just after 8pm on Wednesday night. HPD police chief Susan Ballard told local media that police had responded to a “robbery in progress” at a Nuuanu home after Myeni entered and began chatting with the homeowners, who were upset that he had come inside. Myeni, however, left the house and was outside near his car when police responded and a few minutes later, he was dead.
