What happened
Raymond Hodge, 39, was killed by Maui police in Keopualani Park, Hawaii, on August 5, 2015. Officials said Hodge carried a gun and an imitation immigration-enforcement badge; they claimed he fired first at officers. Officers returned substantial gunfire, with reports of roughly 50 shell casings recovered. MauiTime's year-end reporting noted that officials released an image of a damaged police car but later acknowledged shots from both sides had hit the vehicle. These details complicate simplistic claims about the sequence of bullets. The published material did not establish a later public criminal conviction of an officer or a final independent reconstruction of the encounter.
