According to reports, the man shot and killed last week by police in Laguna Beach after an attempted hit and run accident has been identified as 25-year-old Colby Joshua Koenig.

Koenig was seen driving recklessly on the wrong side of PCH at  speeds estimated between 80 to 100 mph before crashing his vehicle.  He then began to drive his car away, allegedly attempting to flee the scene of the six car accident.  Officers at the scene fired shots at his vehicle wounding Koenig who died later at the hospital.

The shooting is under investigation with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office .  At this point, however, there is no word on whether or not Koenig had a  weapon in his car or exactly why officers started shooting.
