Waianae, HI

9/20/24 KPUA: 

Prosecutors declined the case Wednesday “due to issues related to self-defense and defense of others,” Honolulu police said in a bulletin update.

The deadly Aug. 31 shooting stemmed from a neighborhood dispute in Waianae, a community about 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of downtown Honolulu.

Police responded to a 911 call reporting their neighbor was operating a front-end loader and using it to ram multiple cars into the home where a family gathering was taking place, then opened fire at people gathered in the carport. The gunfire hit and killed the three women. A 42-year-old man living in the house shot and killed the man with a handgun, police said.

A man and another woman were injured in addition to the women killed.

The 42-year-old resident of the house where the neighbor opened fire was arrested on suspicion of murder and released about 20 hours later.
