Honolulu police squad cars were on the scene after a stabbing at an apartment complex on Lime Street near McCully on Monday. Prosecutors today charged the 26-year-old man in the stabbing death of a 5-year-old boy and the critical injury of a 29-year-old woman.

Prosecutors charged a 26-year-old man today in the stabbing death of a 5-year-old boy and the stabbing of a 29-year-old woman.

Waiser Walter is charged with first-degree attempted murder, second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder.

Bail is set at $1 million.

Walter, who lived with the boy and woman, the boy’s aunt, and other relatives at a Lime Street apartment, allegedly stabbed them multiple times late Monday afternoon in the apartment.

A relative said Walter is a hanai relative.

Police found the boy with multiple stab wounds to the chest. He suffered cardiac arrest and was given advanced cardiac life support before being taken by ambulance to a hospital, where he died.

Emergency Medical Services said the woman had multiple stab wounds to the back, and was taken to a hospital in critical condition. She remains in the hospital.

A court document shows Walter was arrested March 25 on suspicion of disorderly conduct. He had allegedly been making unreasonable noise and persisted after being warned to stop. A formal complaint in the incident was filed in Honolulu District Court on April 22, and a judge ordered a bench warrant for his arrest when he failed to show up for his court appearance.

On Feb. 18, police issued a criminal citation to Walter for drinking in public on Sand Island Parkway.

    COFA migrants have migrated into the most rural areas of the Big Island too…I recently visited a childhood beach area (Whittington Beach) to do some photography. Almost the entire beach park had been taken over by them. It was also shared with us that they have taken over much of public housing in other parts of the island too. When is enough enough?
