How they died
Deadly force
State Department special agent Christopher Deedy, 27, is charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. He is charged with killing Kollin Eldert, 23, inside a McDonald's restaurant in Waikiki. Deedy was in Hawaii to help with security at Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Honolulu police said the victim was shot during a confrontation involving four men at the Kuhio Avenue McDonalds. Deedy shoots and kills Elderts. No one disputes this. Alcohol & Drugs play a roll. At issue are the circumstances of the altercation and whether Deedy acted in self defense or as a law enforcement officer. Police indicate Deedy had slurred speech and glossy eyes. Hospital records show he suffered some cuts and a broken nose indicative of an assault.
