Police released Tuesday an audio file of police dispatch communications of a shooting spree that stretched from Kaimuki to Pearl City in June, leaving one person dead and two people injured.

The recordings were part of dispatch communications the city agreed to release after the Honolulu Star-Advertiser filed a lawsuit. The paper sued for the recordings to help the public understand the way police handled the shooting spree.

The city previously released four 911 calls by witnesses to the shooting. The latest recording contains more than two hours of dispatch communications with officers in the field. The recordings show police responding to separate incidents in the East Honolulu, Kalihi and Pearl City police districts.

Toby Stangel has been charged as the shooter and is being held in lieu of $5 million bail while awaiting trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and related counts.

Stangel’s trial is scheduled to start next year before Circuit Judge Glenn Kim.

Stangel allegedly walked up to a van idling at a red light at Kapahulu Avenue and Kapiolani Boulevard at about 12:40 a.m. June 3 and opened fire. He allegedly fatally shot driver Tammy Nguyen as her 16-year-old daughter was sitting in the vehicle with her. The girl was not shot.

Stangel also allegedly wounded two others and fired at two police officers in Aiea before he was caught and arrested.

Police detained Stangel after he stopped his car along the H-1 freeway near the Kaamilo overpass in Aiea.

"Clear the car, make sure you clear the car," one unidentified officer says after Stangel was pulled out and laid on the ground.

Just minutes before, police in the Kalihi district were dispatched to a suspicious circumstance after a man called, saying only that something happened to him. Responding officers found a vehicle with seven bullet holes; the unoccupied car was still running on the side of H-1 freeway near Likelike Highway.

Police couldn’t immediately find the driver and began closing the right-most Waianae-bound lanes. An officer then reported finding an empty ammunition shell casing on the freeway and eventually the victim.

"We got a bona fide shooting with a victim involved over here," an officer said. "No info on the suspect vehicle yet. We’re still trying to sort everything out. Got casings on the freeway."

Officers also found a woman who was also injured and had walked to a nearby gas station.

During the investigation, police were still trying to confirm that the shooting was connected to the initial shooting in Kaimuki. Several witnesses reported a gray Mercedes sedan as the suspect vehicle when Stangel was driving a gray BMW.

Police initially declined to release the 911 calls and police dispatch recordings, saying they were part of an "ongoing investigation," but the city agreed to release five 911 calls after the Star-Advertiser filed its lawsuit under the state open-records law. The city gave the newspaper four tapes in early October.

But city lawyers refused to make public four other 911 calls, including one from Nguyen’s daughter and two others from the wounded victims. The fourth was an anonymous call by a man who described the shooting suspect’s car, according to city lawyers.

Correction: Toby Stangel’s trial is scheduled to start next year. An earlier version of this story said the trial is scheduled next week.
