On November 5, 2011 Christoper Deedy, a federal agent sent to Hawaii for the APEC summit, shot and killed a young Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) by the name of Kollin Elderts.

Agent Deedy's own friend testified that he planned on having a night of "craziness" in Waikiki and was observed ordering at least 5 drinks.

Yet he still decided to bring a loaded gun to his night on the town.

At 2:30 AM, after an evening of bar hopping, he witnessed an exchange of words between two men in a McDonalds, one of whom was 23 year old, unarmed Kollin Elderts.

Agent Deedy approached Elderts, a fight ensued, and Deedy fired 3 shots.  One pierced Elderts' heart, killing him.

Deedy was arrested for murder, but refused to take a blood alcohol test. In August 2013, the Court declared a mistrial and set a date for Deedy's retrial in June 2014. 

Deedy admits freely that he shot and killed Kollin Elderts.  During trial and on his website, the agent describes himself as a hero that killed Elderts to protect others, in the line of duty.  The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service supports this gross injustice by continuing to keep him in their employ.

As parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, children, and friends we believe that if anyone is to carry a gun among us, that he or she must stand down when their judgement is impaired by substances like alcohol.

Support for this petition includes law enforcement professionals who believe that if Deedy planned on an evening of alcohol fueled “craziness” he should have left his weapon at home. Deedy must not be allowed to use his profession as a shield for his actions and should fired as an agent.
