Honolulu police arrest third Christmas Day shooting suspect

COURTESY HPD

Lance Bermudez was the second man wanted on suspicion of hindering prosecution in connection with the Christmas Day shooting of Stevie Feliciano.

Police arrested today a 25-year-old man wanted in connection with last month’s fatal shooting of a 20-year-old man at Ala Moana Center.

Lance Bermudez was arrested at about 7:30 a.m. in the Kipapa Gulch area below Kamehameha Highway after SWAT officers with canines arrived at his location, police said.

He was the second man wanted on suspicion of hindering prosecution in connection with the Christmas Day shooting of Stevie Feliciano. Bermudez had been indicted in the case and a $500,000 warrant was issued for his arrest.

Besides Bermudez, William K.C. Kan, 21, was also charged with first-degree hindering prosecution. Kan was arrested Dec. 28 at his Punchbowl home and later released on $25,000 bail.

Bermudez and Kan allegedly threatened a witness to the shooting.

Authorities said at about 7:30 p.m. the night of the shooting, Feliciano and his friends went to the parking structure at Ala Moana Center to get marijuana. Before they could pick it up, Moon and his friends arrived in a vehicle and one of Moon’s friends initiated a fight.

After the altercation, Moon went to his car and grabbed a gun. He struck Feliciano with it and fired into the back of his head, prosecutors said.

Moon, who has been charged with second-degree murder and other offenses, turned himself in on Dec. 31. His bail was set at $2 million.

Both Moon and Kan have pleaded not guilty.

    A word of advise if this guy ever gets out of prison. Most likely an employer will not hire a person that looks like something that crawled out of Kawainui Swamp. Drain the Swamp.

    “Kan was arrested Dec. 28 at his Punchbowl home and later released on $25,000 bail.” – What a weak Prosecutor’s office Kaneshiro runs. Both of them should be charged with accessory to murder. They watched their friend Moon execute that kid, then threatened witnesses if they testified.
    What exactly do you have to do to get held without bail – kill multiple people? Kaneshiro is the worst Prosecutor ever.

    Hope HPD “sic” the dogs on him and took their time arresting him.
    Ugly Bugga too !!!!

    An illegal pakalolo buy turns into a murder. Go legit and visit your friendly pakalolo licensed vendor?

    • reamesr1 says:

      cojef: You are correct,having legal pakalolo is the way to go. Millions are lost every year in tax revenue that could support the schools. Just like something as good as mail in voting which would help the elderly and disabled. In most States participating/ present when a crime is commited you get the same charge. That will never happen in Hawaii too many lame politicians. Hell they can’t even design and build a decent commuter system.

    Cops should have killed him, because Kaneshiro’s office will screw this case up for sure.
