HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu police shot and killed Lindani Myeni, a Black man, three months after he moved to Hawaii with his wife, believing it would be safer place to raise their two Black children. For some Black people in Hawaii, his death is a reminder that Hawaii isn't the racially harmonious paradise it's held up to be.

The fatal shooting unfolded at around 8:10pm Wednesday when officers were called to a home on Coelho Way after receiving a 911 call from a woman for a burglary in progress.
Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard said in a press conference Thursday that Myeni appears to have arrived at the property by car before allegedly following the woman into her home.
Once inside, he then sat down and took off his shoes, and was trying to talk to the homeowners, she said.
'From what we can gather at this time, he walked into the house, kind of erratic and odd behavior, ' Ballard said.
'He sat down, took off his shoes and was trying to talk to the people, but they were very upset and trying to get him out, and he eventually walked out.
'They didn't know who he was and were trying to talk to him. The homeowners were very shook up and upset.'
He had exited the home and was in his vehicle outside when the officers arrived on the scene.
Ballard said the first officer arrived on the scene and the homeowner identified a man - later revealed to be Myeni - sitting in a vehicle outside as the person who had entered her home.
At this point, Myeni got out of his car and started to walk toward the second officer who had arrived on the scene, police said.
Ballard said the officers told Myeni to stop and get on the ground.
Instead, Myeni 'turned and charged' at one of the cops, punching him several times, she said.
The second officer tried to get Myeni off the first officer while the third officer arrived on the scene, instantly deploying his taser at the suspect, she said.
Ballard said the taser was ineffective in subduing Myeni, who then charged at the third officer and punched him.
Myeni then allegedly ran back at the first officer who fired a single gunshot at him.
Ballard said the shot did not stop the Myeni, who tackled the officer to the ground, straddling him and punching him repeatedly.
At this point, the second cop fired three rounds at Myeni, who fell to the ground, police said.
'This all happened in less than one minute from officer one's arrival,' Ballard said.
