A 54-year-old Ewa Beach man, who fatally shot outside his front door a 37-year-old man armed with a knife, was released Saturday with no charges.

Police arrested the 54-year-old at 9:15 p.m. Friday on suspicion of second-degree murder on Aama Place.

Police said the older man opened his front door at 9 p.m. and shot the younger man, who was on his property holding a knife.

Homicide Lt. Dina Thoemmes said once the investigation is completed, police will present the information to the prosecutor’s office, which will decide whether to pursue the case or not.
