An 18-year-old man was indicted Wednesday in the Dec. 6 deadly attack of a 21-year-old man in Waikiki.

Lionel J. Winebush is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Tony Taki. A Honolulu medical examiner determined Taki died of a stab wound to the torso, authorities said.

Court documents alleged Winebush stabbed Taki with a “dagger-type knife” early on Dec. 6.

Honolulu police said a group of males, including Winebush, met at Tantalus around 2 a.m. then drove to Waikiki in four vehicles to retaliate against another group of males.

One of the males from the first group told detectives he wanted revenge after the other males chased him with machetes.

Taki and his friends were drinking in a grassy area fronting the Royal Kuhio Hotel at 2240 Kuhio Ave. around 2:45 a.m. when Winebush and his friends attacked them, authorities said.

The victim fled and several people chased him to Manukai Street. Police said one male was seen punching Taki, and Winebush was witnessed making a stabbing motion at Taki.

One assailant assaulted Taki with a bat, police said.

Taki became unresponsive and was taken to The Queen’s Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

“Cases like this serve as a stark reminder that there is much work to be done to keep Honolulu safe,” Honolulu Prosecutor Steve Alm said in a statement Wednesday.

Winebush’s bail is set at $750,000.
