Killed – Gregory Gordon (Waikiki, HI)

A man who was shot multiple times by police after he hit several police cars with a pick-up truck during a pursuit through Waikiki early Tuesday morning has been identified by sources as Gregory Gordon from Ashford, Alabama.

The 22-year-old was critically wounded in the gunfire and taken out of the truck on the passenger’s side. He was then transported by ambulance to the Queen’s Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, according to police.

In his video, you can hear the suspect rev his engine over the sound of a dozen sirens – then he tries to escape by smashing into their cars. The suspect screeches his tires in reverse, slamming into a police car in a stream of tire smoke…then six shots ring out.

However, this wasn’t the first time cops tried to stop him. The pursuit for the suspect started on Kuhio Avenue around 4 this morning, just a few blocks away.

Police say the suspect drove the wrong way down Nahua Street, crossed Kuhio Avenue and drove up briefly onto the sidewalk near the Waikiki Town Center. He then reversed his truck into approaching officers who were already nearby and then tried to get away.

According to witnesses, the suspect rounded Lewers onto the Ala Wai as five different police officers surrounded him. But witnesses said the suspect refused to give up and be boxed in, and immediately started ramming the police cars.
