Detectives with the Hawai‘i County Police Department’s Area II Criminal Investigation Section arrested and charged 40-year-old Shayne Unea of Waimea with a number of offenses including attempted murder and terroristic threatening, stemming from a recent Kailua-Kona shooting.
 
On September 11, a Kona patrol officer was flagged down by a 35-year-old Kamuela man who reported that he and another male victim had been shot at by a male suspect while seated in their parked vehicle. The victim also reported that the shooter was accompanied by other suspects who were reportedly operating gray-colored and black-colored Honda sedans.

After receiving this information, officers conducted area checks and located the responsible individual who was taken into police custody. Area II detectives executed a search warrant for the 2016 Honda, which resulted in the recovery of 39 rounds of ammunition.
 
After conferring with the County Prosecutor’s Office, Unea was charged with the following offenses and his bail was set at $334,250:

  • Second-degree attempted murder
  • Two counts first-degree terroristic threatening
  • Ownership or possession prohibited
  • First-degree reckless endangering
  • Second-degree reckless endangering
  • First-degree criminal property damage
  • Driving without a license
  • Resisting order to stop


 Anyone with information about this case is encouraged to contact Detective Joshua Pa, via email at Joshua.pa@hawaiicounty.gov,
