incidents of fatal shooting
Star-BulletinA Nanakuli woman told her ex-boyfriend to leave moments before he fired two shots at her home, fatally wounding her current boyfriend last week, according to court records.
James Zoucha, 27, shot in the head and thigh, died later Aug. 19 at Queen's Hospital. Tyrone Galdones, 28, later was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in Zoucha's death.
According to court records, Tammy Aiwohi was sleeping with Zoucha at her home at 87-404-C Hakimo Road on Aug. 19 when she awoke to hear Galdones calling for her outside her window.
He asked her whom she was sleeping with. Aiwohi told him it was none of his business and to leave.
She could hear Galdones moving around outside and as she tried to wake Zoucha, she heard two gunshots and realized Zoucha had been shot in the head.
Her brother, Yanis Aiwohi, told police he, too, was asleep when he heard banging outside the home. He heard someone calling his sister and recognized Galdones, his sister's ex-boyfriend.
Yanis told police he dropped to the floor after hearing what sounded like a gun being cocked, then heard two gunshots from the direction of his sister's bedroom.
Marvallee Kekipi, Tammy Aiwohi's mother, was asleep in the living room when she heard a car pull up to the house and looked outside to see Galdones getting out of a Honda that he usually drove.
When Kekipi went to the bathroom, she heard her daughter say "Jiggy" had shot Zoucha.
Police recovered two spent 9mm casings and a 9mm cartridge outside the home.
A preliminary hearing for Galdones is set for tomorrow.
