HAWAII, Hawaii (KHON2) — Silas Zion, 23, who is accused of being now-deceased 39-year-old Christopher Lucrisia’s getaway driver, was charged with multiple crimes on March 16, following Lucrisia’s nearly week long crime spree and three day manhunt.
Zion was charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree, Place to Keep Pistol, Place to Keep Ammunition and Hindering Prosecution in the First Degree.
According to Big Island police, Zion owned and operated a white pickup truck that was used to aid Lucrisia in evading police. On March 14, police found the duo in the truck at a bank in Hilo, where Lucrisia and police exchanged gunfire before Zion drove away with Lucrisia.
Zion was arrested later that day on Ihope Road in Mountain View, and his truck was also confiscated by police. Several days later, on March 16, police would find Lucrisia in the same location and Lucrisia would eventually die after exchanging gunfire again with police.
The relationship between Zion and Lucrisia is currently unknown and the investigation is ongoing. Zion’s bail is set at $3,075,000.
