On Saturday, July 20, 2024, at approximately 11:46 a.m., Lahaina Patrol Officers responded to the area of 2010 Honoapiilani Highway in Kaanapali in regards to a suspicious type case.

Upon arrival, a bystander led officers to a male who was observed to be breathing but was unresponsive and suffering from a severe injury to his arm. A tourniquet was applied to the male’s arm by a responding officer, who then began life-saving measures until fire and medic personnel arrived on the scene to take over. The male, a 53-year-old from Lahaina, was transported to the Maui Memorial Medical Center in critical condition; however, he succumbed to his injuries before arrival. (The victim’s identity is being withheld for 24 hours to allow his family an opportunity to notify their extended family and friends).

Preliminary investigation reveals an eyewitness having observed a 46-year-old Lahaina male standing over the victim’s body before fleeing the scene in a red 2007 Honda Element. At approximately 1:08 p.m., officers located the Honda, abandoned off Honoapiilani Highway in the Olowalu area.

At approximately 4:03 p.m., SRT and Lahaina Patrol personnel located the male at Honokawai Park, where he was subsequently placed under arrest for Murder in the Second Degree. The male remains in police custody, pending charges.

The investigation remains ongoing; no further information is available at this time.
