How they died
Deadly force
Nelson was spotted by a police officer rear-ending a bus and drinking an alcoholic beverage behind the wheel. After the officer tried to prevent Nelson from taking off, he made U-turns and drove his car onto a sidewalk and hitting a tree, prompting police to fire and kill Nelson. Honolulu Police defended the decision to shoot Nelson, claiming it was done to prevent further safety risks.
