A Kauai jury on Thursday found Vicente Kote Kapika Hilario guilty of gun-related charges in connection with the 2010 death of Aureo Arick Moore.

The jury also found Hilario, 26, of Anahola, guilty of second- and third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 19.

On Aug. 24, 2010, police pursued a gray Nissan Altima, the vehicle used in a robbery that occurred three days earlier in which Moore, 34, was allegedly robbed at gunpoint in a Kapaa Safeway parking lot, the Kauai prosecutor’s office said in a news release.

During the pursuit of the Altima on Papaloa Road, Hilario’s friend, Kyle Akau, fled the vehicle while carrying a backpack. Police found Akau hiding behind a bush and arrested him. The backpack was recovered nearby and contained a loaded, unregistered .22-caliber pistol as well as a loaded .45-caliber revolver that was reported stolen in 1998.

Also found in the backpack were 125 oxycodone tablets and a small plastic bag containing cocaine residue. A pay stub from Bouchons Hanalei Restaurant, hotel bills and camping permits that belonged to Hilario were also in the bag.

In March, Hilario was found guilty of first-degree murder for the execution-style killing of Moore on Dec. 17, 2010. Moore was scheduled to testify against Akau later that month for the Safeway parking lot robbery.

Hilario’s sentencing on the murder conviction is set for June 13.
