    Police closed off Moanalua Road between Aiea Heights Drive and Puakala to investigate a possible shooting.

Honolulu police were investigating a shooting, believed to be motivated by road rage, that left one person dead today in Aiea.

The incident happened on Moanalua Road near Aiea Shopping Center just before noon and forced police to close a stretch of the roadway for about four hours to investigate.

Michelle Yu, Honolulu Police Department spokeswoman, said two drivers got into a possible traffic-related argument. Witnesses reported the suspect exited a vehicle, shot the other driver, and then drove away.

The victim, a 31-year-old man, was taken to a hospital where he died.

The suspect, a 72-year-old man, barricaded himself in his home off Aiea Heights Drive, and police talked him into surrendering, Yu said.

He was arrested for investigation of second-degree murder.
