An Oahu grand jury today indicted state prison guard Anthony F. Pereira II on a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his 66-year-old mother in his Maili home Friday.

The grand jury returned an indictment today also charging the 44-year-old Pereira with kidnapping, terroristic threatening, using a firearm to commit the crimes and drug possession.

Pereira remains in custody at Halawa Correctional Facility. Circuit Judge Richard Perkins confirmed his bail Wednesday at $1 million.
