Police said the man set off the alarm and fled through the fire exit.

He is described as being between 20 and 30 years old and wearing a red and black baseball cap, a dark hooded sweater, gray shorts, an orange backpack and shoes.

Man arrested on suspicion of abuse

Police arrested a 42-year-old Honolulu man Tuesday afternoon who allegedly abused his 41-year-old wife and was found to have illegal ammunition in the home.

Police said the couple had gotten into a fight and the woman received minor injuries at about 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.

The man fled their home, police said. Meanwhile, the woman reported the alleged abuse and turned over firearms registered to her husband to police.

Police discovered among the firearms a prohibited-capacity ammunition magazine.

The husband surrendered to police, who arrested him on suspicion of misdemeanor abuse of a family member and possession of prohibited detachable ammunition magazine.

Cause of infant’s death is deferred

The Medical Examiner’s Office has deferred the cause of death in the case of a 5-month-old male infant, Lawrence L. Dennis of Makiki, who died Tuesday.

Further testing might take another six to eight weeks before a cause is determined.

A care provider discovered the unconscious baby at 2:55 a.m. Tuesday in his crib, and 911 was immediately called, police said.

He was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where efforts to resuscitate him failed, police said.
