Asolua Maika, 13, said he saw the whole shooting unfold.

"I was standing right here," said the Aiea Intermediate School student, pointing to a spot in front of Cold Stone Creamery.

"It started over here, two cars banging against each other," he said. "Then they took off across this parking lot. And then three more vans came in, and they surrounded the car.

"OK, so first it was two vehicles right here and they were hitting each other," he said.

"And then the car in the front — that was the guy I think got shot — he took off first and they surrounded his car."

Seven shots were fired in all, he said.

He said he heard the first two shots. But he saw the other five.

"I saw the undercover guy shoot him — he was the only one shooting.
