Scene of attempted murder at Club Ash in Pearl City.

Honolulu police arrested two men in connection with a shooting that occurred in the parking lot fronting a strip club in Pearl City.

Police said two men were involved in a physical confrontation in the parking lot fronting Club Hot Ash on Kamehameha Highway at approximately 1:50 a.m. Wednesday when one of the men brandished a firearm.

The alleged gunman, 34, shot several times at the victim. Police said none of the gunshots struck him.

Police said the suspect entered the passenger seat of a vehicle operated by another man, 31, when the vehicle struck the victim, causing minor abrasions to his left leg.

As the perpetrators fled in the vehicle, the victim chased after them in his car for approximately 10 miles to the parking lot of the Ka Makana Alii Shopping Center in Kapolei.

The victim positively identified the suspects to responding officers.

Police arrested the man, 34, on suspicion of second­-degree attempted murder and the 31-year-old suspect on suspicion of second-­degree attempted murder, second-degree reckless endangering and two counts of criminal contempt of court.

It is unclear whether the suspects and victim are known to one another.
