31-year-old Vasiliy Viktorovich Trubachev of Kea‘au was charged with attempted murder following a Hawaiian Paradise Park shooting that left a 32-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds.

After conferral with Hawai’i County Prosecutors, detectives with the Area I Criminal Investigation Section charged Trubachev with:

  • Second-degree attempted murder, and
  • Carrying or use of a firearm in the commission of a separate felony

Trubachev’s bail was set at $1,100,000.

The charges against Trubachev stem from an April 19 incident when Puna patrol officers responded to an unknown disturbance at a residence on 7th Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park. They learned that a male acquaintance of Trubachev had come to the residence where an altercation ensued; he reportedly threatened several individuals while armed with a knife and glass bottle. The acquaintance then reportedly assaulted several individuals prior to leaving the area on foot.

While investigating, officers were informed by a passersby that there was a male on the ground in the area of 6th Avenue and Makuu Drive, who was injured and bleeding.

Officers located the man who reported he had been shot by Trubachev multiple times. They began providing first aid to him until Hawai’i County Fire Department personnel arrived and transported him to the Hilo Medical Center Emergency Room. As of this time, he remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Trubachev was arrested at the 7th Avenue residence and transported to the East Hawai’i Detention Center.

Yesterday detectives served a search warrant at the 7th Avenue home and recovered miscellaneous evidence related to the incident.

Police ask anyone who may have witnessed this incident to contact the police department’s non-emergency number at (808) 935-3311, or Detective Christopher Jelsma of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section at (808) 961-2386 or via email at Christopher.Jelsma@hawaiicounty.gov.
