Hawaii Police Department detectives are still trying to determine whether Justin Waiki, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a police officer, had been with two people who were later arrested following an officer-involved shooting Thursday night in Kailua-Kona.

Department spokesman Alan Richmond said they are “still investigating that relationship” between Waiki and Harvey Damo, Jr. and Shevylyn Klaus, both 25 of Hilo, who were arrested on suspicion of second-degree theft involving a Toyota pickup truck.

“Word is they somehow had contact with him or were associated in some way,” he said.

Lt. Sherry Bird, a detective in the criminal investigation section, added: “We’re still working to confirm if he was or wasn’t there. I don’t want to call it a case of mistaken identity. The information that was given to us is what we had to work with at the time.”

Update: 10:20 a.m.

Police today confirmed the arrest of two people after an officer-involved shooting in Kailua-Kona during the pursuit of Justin Waiki, the suspect in the fatal shooting of a Big Island police officer earlier this week.

Harvey Damo, Jr. and Shevylyn Klaus, both 25 of Hilo, were arrested on suspicion of theft in the second-degree involving a Toyota pickup truck.

Damo received medical treatment at the Kona Community Hospital for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was released from the hospital into police custody. He and Klaus remain in custody at the Kealakehe police station pending an investigation, police said.

The two officers involved have been placed on administrative leave as is standard practice in any officer-involved shooting, police said.

Hawaii Island Maj. Sam Thomas gave the following account of Thursday night’s pursuit and arrest: Police received a tip at about 4:58 p.m. that Waiki might be inside a pickup truck in a parking lot on Henry Street in Kailua-Kona. At 5:19 p.m., officers spotted a pickup truck near Kahaluu Beach in Kailua-Kona matching the description of the vehicle.

They approached the vehicle and observed a man in the driver’s seat and a woman in the passenger’s seat.

Police ordered them to exit the vehicle when the driver allegedly sped toward the officers. Thomas said an officer discharged three gunshots at the pickup truck as it continued to flee.

The pickup truck was traveling westbound on Napoopoo Road when it drove toward another officer. The officer discharged 10 rounds at the vehicle.

Thomas said the vehicle continued to flee and was eventually abandoned in a private coffee field in Honaunau. The occupants fled on foot.

Officers scoured the area and arrested the man and woman, now identified as Damo and Klaus.

Earlier, residents had reported about shots being fired at police from a fleeing Tacoma truck in the forested community.

Speaking to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser down the road from a police barricade along Mamalahoa Highway, near Honaunau, Trapp described the arrest scene, saying, “She walks out, and she’s handcuffed, and they put her down on the ground, and the girl is on the mauka side of the road and the dude is on the makai side of the road and he’s like covered in blood. Head to toe, like head to toe, handcuffed like this, (gestures), and the girl is on the other side of the road handcuffed. And then the ambulance pulls up in the middle of them and there’s cops everywhere.”

Trapp saw the woman being led to the ambulance and was told by police to leave the scene and head south where she became stranded with other motorists until the barricade was lifted at around 12:30 a.m.

Thursday’s coverage

Hawaii island police are in active pursuit of Justin Waiki, the man wanted for the fatal shooting of a police officer on Tuesday.

Waiki, 33, was reportedly spotted driving a gray Toyota Tacoma up Napoopoo Road in Honaunau with multiple police cars in pursuit around 6 p.m. today.

The suspect later abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot. Police advised residents in the vicinity of Honaunau Elementary School to remain indoors and lock their doors.

Napoopoo Road resident Kawai DeBina said she saw the Tacoma pass her house with at two police vehicles chasing it and heard at least six rounds of gunfire. She said she was not sure who fired the shots.

“We just ducked,” DePina said of herself and her family. “We’re just 100 feet from the road and we didn’t want to get hit. It was so scary.”

Police were maintaining a perimeter near the school as of 8 p.m.
