UPDATE

Honolulu police confirmed this afternoon that the 64-year-old man killed in Waianae late Saturday was an innocent bystander who was shot when an argument beween two groups led to gunfire.

HPD homicide Lt. Deena Thoemmes said the victim was not connected to the two groups whose argument started inside a Longs store in Waianae then continued into the parking lot.

The two groups got into their vehicles with one vehicle following the other when a male passenger from the second vehicle “leaned out the car window and shot multiple rounds at the first group’s vehicle,” she said.

One round struck a man standing nearby in his driveway and he died at the scene, she said.

Thoemmes described the suspect as a man in his 20s, with black hair and last seen wearing a white shirt. The suspect’s car was described as a silver or gray sedan. The two vehicles drove off on Farrington Highway toward Makaha on Farrington Highway, she said.

Thoemmes said witnesses described the weapon that was fired as being a “long-type gun, possibly a rifle.”

HPD is reviewing surveillance video from the area. “We have some (surveillance footage) and we want more,” she said.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday, and the Honolulu Medical Examiner will release the victim’s identity, Thoemmes said.

No arrests had been made as of this afternoon in the ongoing investigation, she said, adding that anyone with information on the crime should call 911 or Honolulu CrimeStoppers at 808-955-8300. The public also can send anonymous web tips to honolulucrime­ stoppers.org or via the P3 Tips App.

Police, who have opened a second-degree murder case in the death, said officers responded to an argument between two groups at about 11 p.m.

“Both groups entered their vehicles to leave. Group 1 was being followed by Group 2,” according to a Honolulu Police Department summary of the shooting. “A passenger from Group 2 leaned out of the car window and shot multiple rounds at Group 1’s vehicle. Both groups then fled in opposite directions.”

Police said “a male bystander had been struck by one of the stray bullets. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.”

The HPD summary did not disclose the exact location but a Honolulu Emergency Medical Services report said paramedics responded to the area of Farrington Highway and Pokai Bay Street.

Police said early this morning that no arrests have been made and that the investigation is ongoing.
