Add to My HeroesAndrew R. Morales
Officer Andrew Morales and Officer Abraham Mahiko were shot and killed while on a burglary stakeout at the intersection of Cooke Street and Kawaiahao Street. As they walked up to a suspicious vehicle the occupants opened fire killing both.
It was the first time in the department's history that two officers died at the same time in the line of duty. Three men, ages 20, 20, and 30, were arrested and charged with their murders a week later. A forth suspect, age 20, was arrested on January 2, 1964, in San Francisco by FBI agents.
In 1964 one suspect was sentenced to 60 years for an unrelated robbery committed a week before the officer's murders. On April 8, 1965, that suspect and another, who both fired the fatal shots, were convicted of two counts of murder and sentenced to life without parole. Both were still in prison in 2000. The other two were allowed to plead guilty to accessory after the fact.
Officer Morales had served with the Honolulu Police Department for five years. He was survived by his wife and three children.
