The man accused of shooting a motorist on Kalihi Street last week was charged Sunday with attempted murder.

Edrei Jay Arreola, 25, remains in custody on $250,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in Honolulu District Court today. Honolulu police say Arreola shot the motorist, a 19-year-old man, Wednesday and then fled in a separate vehicle. They arrested him about a half-hour later near the Polynesian Voyaging Society headquarters on Sand Island.

Witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots.

The city’s Emergency Medical Services Division says an ambulance crew treated the motorist for possible gunshot wounds and transported him in serious condition to a hospital.

In addition to the attempted murder, Arreola is charged with using a firearm to commit the crime, carrying a firearm without a permit and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Arreola has felony convictions for drug promotion, burglary and theft.

Ailing diver rescued off East Oahu

A 58-year-old man was recovering Sunday after lifeguards rescued him during a commercial dive off Hawaii Kai.

The man began experiencing a medical condition during the dive at about 10 a.m., said Honolulu Emergency Services Department spokeswoman Shayne Enright in an email.

Lifeguards retrieved him on a personal watercraft and gave him medical treatment while hauling him back to the pier at Maunalua Bay, she said.

An Emergency Medical Services crew started advanced life support and took the man in serious condition to a hospital.
