(AP) — The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office has identified the 16-year-old shot and killed by police during a car chase. The office says Iremamber Sykap of Aiea died Monday from multiple gunshot wounds. Police Chief Susan Ballard says Sykap was driving a stolen car that was linked a burglary, purse snatching, car theft and an armed robbery. Officers pursued the car as it sped west on a highway and freeway, at one point driving into oncoming traffic. Ballard says the driver rammed two police cars before crashing into a fence and landing in a canal. Three officers who used their firearms were on administrative leave.
