Moon was arrested at 10:15 a.m. at the Honolulu Police Department headquarters on Beretania Street. In addition to the second-degree murder charge, Moon was also arrested on three weapons counts, one auto theft count and one count on use of a firearm.
His bail is set at $2 million.
Feliciano died Wednesday at Queen’s Medical Center after he suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the back of the head Sunday night at the Ala Moana Center parking lot.
Police and prosecutors said Feliciano and some friends went to the parking structure at Ala Moana Center at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday to get some marijuana from another person.
Before they could pick up marijuana, Moon and his friends showed up in a vehicle. Deputy Prosecutor Chasid Sapolu said one of Moon’s friends started a fight with Feliciano and that others joined in.
After the fight, Moon returned to his car and grabbed a firearm. He pointed it “and struck the victim once on the head with the firearm and pointed it and fired a shot into the back of the victim’s head,” Sapolu told the court Thursday.
Police said the shooting happened on the fifth floor of the center’s Ewa wing parking structure.
Feliciano was taken to Queen’s in critical condition. He was unresponsive and put on life support before he died Wednesday.

Because of marijuana?!
no cause da koreans got their butts kicked so to get even dumbbell went go get his equalizer …………hmmm back of da head sounds like execution style
If he shot the guy over marijuana, that is beyond stupid. It makes no sense…
I have a feeling maybe the Asian guys came to rob them instead and the guy with the marijuana never showed up. Remind me of the show Drugs Inc where stickup crews go to prey on drug dealers when they try to make their transactions.
surprising but I figure he knew they would catch him eventually. There is much more to his story than we have been told obviously.
So, which judge going release him “pending further investigation?”
Uhhh, you did read where the article stated,”His bail is set at $2 million.” Meaning release is up to who ever can raise his bond money. Not going to be the Judge.
Rookie posters……………….
must be nice to be retired and make asinine comments all day
Yep, about the only free perks left. no moh hana hana no moh 5 cents go ala park i a moi! Abundant time, if you like sleep late, eat wen yu get hungry, yu can. no buddy tell you wat to do, mabe cop beat bottom feet/sole if yu sleep on park bench.
ha. good one.
Should of just kept running. When you get your stay in your permenant hotel you are you to say that. At least free food instead of eating out of trash cans.
Another drug deal gone bad……
I want to be the judge in this case. No jury or trial. This guy is guilty no matter what. They could have fought one on one but instead Hong Kong Mafia, Mr Moon decides to take the coward way out. Pull a gun and hit Feliciano first then shot him. Run away and then after a week, turns himself in. What a coward. Death. Like the good old days. Let the people watch as this coward is put to death as to what he did to a young man.
If he is Hong Kong mafia, I wish SA would research and write a story about them. What do they do? How long have they been here? What businesses do they operate? What kind of threat are they?
Allie…..SA do research on a story?! Hahahahahahahahaha. Rick Perez where are you?
I don’t think Tahitigirl (TG, correct me if I’m wrong) meant he is in the Hong Kong mafia. Rather, I think she is using Hong Kong Mafia as a nickname. Think about it. Do you really think any mafia would do business in a shopping mall’s parking lot? On top of that, why would the mafia expose themselves by taking such extreme measures in a small marijuana deal that may have gone bad.
Derick, I just use that term, these Hong Kong children think they can come to Hawaii and act all that. They are trying to act like the old days. They watch to many movies.
TG – Thanks for the confirmation.
Allie, it is just a nickname, but what would you know. Watch channel 1004, better yet go watch netflix, Korean movies or Hong Kong movies.
Sounds like you’re back pedaling from one dumb mistake to another.
dont know about hong kong, but he is scar faced
Bugga needs a dermatologist!
No worry. This guy going have some work done to his face while in prison.
Hongkong mafia? He’s Korean.
Well then Korean mafia.
I really hope you’re not in any position of authority within the justice system. Cases aren’t judged in the media, which is what you’re doing. Whether this guy is guilty or not is not the point. The point is that we have rules of law here. Everyone is entitled to a trial. Without one the justice system loses legitimacy and sets a dangerous precedent. So just cool it and let the system do its job. To suggest a “fair fight” on the streets shows your naivete. If you want a fair fight step into the MMA or boxing ring. Even then it might not be fair.
Morimoto – I wish I was the judge. He is guilty not matter what. He killed someone and before that he has a rap sheet that is out of this world and the Judge let him go with a slap on the wrist. Get a life. Our justice system sucks. He should not have a trial. He ran away and HPD have been looking for this guy for 1 week. Can you imagine, if that happened to your son? Even if something when down wrong, you don’t have to pull out a gun and shot the person. Fight fair MMA, down the road. It started as a fight and the Korean mafia couldn’t take it so Mr. Moon took out his gun. Coward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I’m just glad you’re not the judge. Besides, unless his lawyer is incompetent, he’ll have a jury trial, not a trial by judge. I’m not saying you’re a bad person, but you’re naive and ignorant when it comes to these kinds of things and how the justice system works.
Mori – forget the naive, she’s just ignorant.
Fight fair?? Not condoning what this guy did but honestly, fighting fair is what losers say. There’s a reason no one fights fair in war.
I thought Ala Moana has choke security.
looking for shoplifters not murderers
For shoplifters but not anyone with a gun.
Such a sorry way to throw away your life. Your “friends” can’t help you now.
Drug deal gone bad? Feud from a prior incident? So you shoot another human being in the back of the head? 20 years old, one dead one going to prison. Sad.
Let’s see how many ways the prosecutor and judge will mess this one up.
Give it to Kealoha.
Oh it’s ok. Obama will pardon him.
No, Trump will.
Legalize marijuana.
If what they say he did is true, this guy is an actual monster and needs to be off the streets. I do not believe in the death penalty, but if it is the truth of what happened, he needs to be locked up for the rest of his life. He would probably do it again.
Why waste food water and shelter?
Korean braddah must’ve had too much kim chee juice in his veins. Typical Korean hot head!
Was waiting for some clown to come up with a kimchee line. It’s like waiting for the kid in the audience to dare the ventriloquist and the dummy to talk at the same time. By the way, if there are over 20K Koreans in Hawaii, you’d think there would be a lot more of them shooting people in the head – I mean, since this guy’s so typical.
Send this idiot to North korea.
They won’t take him. Overweight. NK doesn’t like overweight people, except their Dear Leader.
When they say “pick up marijuana” are they picking up 10 ounces or 10 pounds? Makes a big difference as according to online sources high quality weed in Hawaii is worth $306 per ounce so 10 pounds of the good stuff is worth about $49,000. Understand police don’t want to give details and they probably don’t have all of the accurate details themselves given all witnesses don’t want to admit were in the process of committing a crime and trying to inflict serious physical harm to each other. Have to figure the less information they give to police and prosecutors the better they can keep intact any of their own possible criminal organization and future activity. Given just the fact Feliciano and his group wanted to “pick up” weed, then have to assume Han and his group was selling. Also the fact pointed out Han initially did not have his gun with him and after the conflict started, “returned to his car and grabbed a firearm” so he can claim it was not premeditated but only a reaction to protect Feliciano from inflicting further grave harm to Han’s friend. No doubt sad story all around but like the Deedy/Eldert conflict, both sides have to bear some responsibility.
Excellent comment. You made very good points.
you’s in biiiiiig trouble naw bwoy!
Had a feeling this was drug related in some way…
new crop of korean syndicate trying to make a name for himself
