Honolulu police have arrested a 34-year-old man who allegedly tried to run over his pregnant girlfriend in Waianae on April 8.
Justin Kalani Ahkuoi was wanted on a $150,000 warrant when he turned himself at the Honolulu Police Department’s main station at 801 South Beretania St. at 8:28 p.m. Monday. Ahkuoi was arrested and charged with second-degree attempted murder. He has more than 30 prior arrests and citations at the state level, including for drugs, harassment and criminal property damage.
Police said that at about 11:40 a.m. on April 8, Ahukoui allegedly attempted to run over his 32-year-old girlfriend with his vehicle.
He fled before the police arrived, HPD said. A patrol officer responded to a possible domestic argument between at 86-145 Farrington Highway in Waianae, after dispatch relayed “that a pregnant female was hit by a vehicle at this location and was awake and breathing,” according to a state criminal complaint filed this morning.
The woman told the officer that she was four months pregnant with twins and that Ahkuoi is the father.
She and Ahkuoi are in “an on- and off-again intimate relationship,” but the woman could not tell the officer how long they have been together, the complaint said. The woman told the officer that she was “changing her vehicle tire in the park when her boyfriend, Justin Ahkuoi, drove up to her fast and sideswiped her on the left side of her body with his car,” according to the criminal complaint.

The woman was spun around after being hit, falling to the ground and landing on the left side of her body, police said. She was taken to The Queen’s Medical Center West and treated for her injuries, which included a broken toe.
After hitting the woman with a car, Ahkuoi allegedly got out of his vehicle, stood on the car, and started yelling at the victim.
A female witness living in a tent nearby told police Ahkuoi was screaming “f—- you, f—- you. I just wen’ kill my two babies so I going jail now,” according to the complaint
