(AP) — Members of the Honolulu Police Commission questioned a deputy chief about why the department won’t release body camera footage from officers who shot and killed a 16-year-old boy. The department has said it won’t release the footage because it involves juveniles. Police say 16-year-old Iremamber Sykap was driving a stolen car that was linked to a crime spree. Deputy Chief Aaron Takasaki-Young says there was a replica gun found in the car. He says the department is not releasing the footage because three juveniles and two adults were arrested on suspicion of charges ranging from attempted murder to unlawful entry of a motor vehicle. He says the investigation is ongoing.
