Man, 51, allegedly killed younger brother in Moiliili, HPD says
Honolulu police arrested a 51-year-old man for suspicion of second-degree murder for allegedly killing his brother in Moiliili early this morning.
Police said the brothers argued in the University area late Saturday night and the argument escalated into a fight. The suspect called 911, police said.
Officers and Honolulu Emergency Medical Services arrived but the 48-year-old victim had “succumbed to his injuries,” police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
His older brother was arrested at 3:14 a.m. and was in custody this morning.
HPD gave no other immediate details on the incident and said the investigation is ongoing.
