Police arrest suspect who allegedly shot at man in Kapolei

Honolulu police have arrested a suspect who allegedly opened fire at another man in Kapolei earlier this month.

Police arrested 52-year-old Ted Seanory Esteban who allegedly shot in the direction of another man during an argument at Barbers Point Beach Park on July 3.

The victim, also a 52-year-old man, did not report the incident at the time and suffered no injuries.

But at about 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Esteban allegedly threatened the victim at the same location, police said, while holding what appeared to be a long gun.

Police later identified Esteban during a traffic stop and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder, first-degree terroristic threatening and a federal hold.

Esteban is on supervised release after he did four months at the Federal Detention Center Honolulu for violating the terms of his supervised release stemming from a December 2002 conviction for robbery, conspiracy and use of a short-barreled shotgun during a crime of violence, according to federal court documents.

Esteban did more than 120 months in federal prison before he was let out on supervised release. He admitted to using methamphetamine in March and April 2021 and tested positive for the drug in May 2021, according to federal court records.

The suspect is in custody pending a police investigation.
