#shooting wailuku

A 25-year-old man was arrested on first degree attempted murder, assault of an officer and resisting an order to stop his vehicle following a run-in with police that led to officers opening fire.

Maui Police are asking for the public’s help in locating Samson K. Hill in connection to an Attempted Murder investigation that occurred on at the McDonald’s restaurant in Wailuku on Monday.

Police say the driver sped away “nearly hitting one officer” who then discharged their weapon at the vehicle. The incident occurred at the McDonald’s on Main St in Wailuku.

Police, who have yet to release the suspects name, say the 39-year-old man with no local address, was shot multiple times by officers. During an initial investigation police recovered over 50 shell casings, nine of them from the perpetrator. Police say the man sustained an estimated 11 gun shot wounds that were located on various parts of his body from his legs to the top of his torso.

Maui police have since identified the deceased man as a 39-year old African American male with no local address, but have not released his name pending notification of next of kin.
