Korey Farinas

UPDATE, 5 p.m.

Police arrested Korey Farinas today in connection with the fatal shooting Saturday of a 64-year-old bystander at his home near the Longs Drug Store in Waianae.

The 21-year-old has not yet been charged but was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, first-degree attempted murder, three counts of second-degree attempted murder and firearms offenses.

Police said today that they interviewed witnesses, reviewed surveillance video and examined evidence, and identified witnesses before they identified Farinas.

Police said that shortly after 11 p.m. Saturday, police went to the Waianae Longs and found two groups of people involved in an argument.

The two groups left in two separate vehicles. A passenger from the second vehicle leaned out the car window and fired multiple rounds at the first group’s vehicle.

They then drove off towards Makaha on Farrington Highway.

A 64-year-old resident had been struck by a stray bullet while standing in his driveway and died at the scene, police said.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office identified him as Andrew Quisquirin.

Police said the shooter was seen armed with a long gun, possibly a rifle.

A traffic bench warrant was issued in November for Farinas. He was arrested May 20, 2022 for allegedly not having a driver’s license, a petty misdemeanor, and not having a child passenger restraint seat.

The suspect has no prior criminal convictions listed in the Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center, which does not include any crimes committed as a minor.
