HPD Homicide Division Sergeant T. Simmons and Officer M. Arroyo reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a shooting at the Electric Chair Tattoo Shop at the above address. Upon arrival, they found a witness and patron detaining a man suspected of shooting Mr. Pina.
Further investigation determined the suspect, Khan, had entered a restricted area of the shop and was told repeatedly by Pina to return to the front of the establishment. As Khan was being escorted to the front by a witness, he produced a gun and shot Pina. The witness and patron then kept the suspect at the scene until officers arrived.
There is no known prior association between Pina and Khan.
