Hawai’i Island police have deferred numerous firearm-related offenses to the County Prosecutor’s Office.  The offenses stem from an August 28 incident at the Camp Honokaia Boy Scout Camp that left a 11-year-old boy dead.

Area I Criminal Investigation Section detectives initiated 23 firearm-related offenses, one of which is for the criminally negligent storage of a firearm. The offenses are against three men who were at the scene of the incident, and have been identified as the registered owners of multiple firearms. In total, 18 firearms and various ammunition was recovered.

Police conducted extensive interviews with adults and minors present at the rifle range at the time of the accident.  The investigation concluded that an unsupervised male minor picked up a loaded firearm, owned by his father, that discharged while he was placing it down, subsequently shooting the victim. The incident is believed to be accidental, and police do not suspect foul play in the boy’s death.

No criminal charges have been filed against the minor.

An autopsy concluded that the victim died as a result of a single gunshot wound.

Although police have concluded this investigation, they ask anyone who may have additional information to contact the police department’s non-emergency number at (808) 935-3311, or Detective Jeremy Kubojiri of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section, at (808) 961-2378 or email him at Jeremy.Kubojiri@hawaiicounty.gov.
