HONOLULU — More details of the fatal confrontation last year between federal agent Christopher Deedy and local resident Kollin Elderts have been revealed in court papers.
Prosecutors allege that Deedy, 28, who has been charged with murder after fatally shooting Elderts, was the “first aggressor” in an altercation that occurred inside a Waikiki McDonalds restaurant.
