A 64-year-old Renton, Wash., woman died Wednesday despite efforts to save her, after being pulled from the ocean at Kapalua Bay on Maui.

The woman was snorkeling with family members when beachgoers noticed her unresponsive and brought her to shore, a Maui Fire Department news release said.

The good Samaritans began cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Firefighters, called at 12:33 p.m., arrived at 12:40 p.m., and took over CPR. Paramedics arrived shortly afterward, continuing life-saving measures, but she died at the scene.

Man indicted in Waikiki stabbing of male

An Oahu grand jury has indicted a 26-year-old man after he stabbed a 28-year-old man in an apparent unprovoked attack in Waikiki. The grand jury charged Cedar Chavarria on Tuesday with attempted second-degree murder in the Jan. 31 stabbing of a man in a pedestrian walkway on Kalakaua Avenue.

Chavarria’s arraignment is set for Monday before Judge Colette Garibaldi at Circuit Court. He remains in custody at the Oahu Community Correctional Center on $100,000 bail. Police said the victim suffered stab wounds to his neck and chest and was brought to Queen’s Medical Center in serious condition.
