OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On June 25, 2025, just after 3:45 p.m., Honolulu Police officers in an unmarked vehicle pursued a stolen pickup truck on Hana Street in Makaha. Police claim the driver, 38-year-old Iosua Stevens, reversed and rammed the police vehicle, causing it to catch fire and temporarily trapping one of the officers inside. Officers then opened fire, shooting Stevens multiple times. He was taken to Queens Medical Center in critical condition and placed on life support. Police stated he was wanted on three felony warrants and had been charged earlier in June with assaulting an officer. No firearm was recovered at the scene. The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office and Independent Investigations Division are reviewing the incident. Questions have been raised by community members over whether deadly force was necessary and whether alternative tactics could have prevented the escalation.
