Police investigate Saturday morning at the scene of a fatal shooting near the corner of Seaside and Kuhio avenues in Waikiki.
The Medical Examiner’s office has identified the man killed in an early-morning shooting outside a Waikiki club on Saturday as 22-year-old Maleko Remlinger of Kaneohe.
Remlinger and two other men were shot as they were standing amid a crowd of about 20 people outside Club Alley Cat around 5:45 a.m.
Police located and arrested suspect Jordan A. Smith, 18, at a Young Street apartment building on Sunday.
Remlinger died of multiple gunshot wounds, the Medical Examiner determined. His death has been classified as a homicide.
The shooting occurred on private property in an area people frequent after nearby bars close, police said.
A Honolulu Police Department spokesperson said that officers had previously responded to noise, drinking and other nuisance complaints and patrols in the area were increased “a couple of months ago.”
