18-year-old man arrested in Kalihi shooting

Police arrested an 18-year-old man during the weekend in connection with the shooting of another man in Kalihi last week.

Officers of the District 5 Crime Reduction Unit arrested the suspect Saturday at a Naai Street residence in Kalihi after he allegedly shot Bryan Flores, 20, at about 8 p.m. Wednesday three times near the corner of Owen and North King streets.

Flores, who was taken to the Queen's Medical Center after he sustained gunshot wounds to his cheek and both shoulders, was one of the men who was arrested in May after the fatal stabbing of Kirk Hodges, a surfer who frequented the Ala Moana Bowls area.

He was later released based on witness accounts that his younger brother, Frederick, had stabbed Hodges. Police said the shooting had no relation to the stabbing incident.

Police arrested the 18-year-old man on suspicion of attempted second-degree murder.

Argument leads to blouse being set ablaze

Police charged a 30-year-old man Saturday after he allegedly set his girlfriend's blouse on fire at their Kinau Street home.

Police identified the man as Shelley Lomongo.

When Lomongo's girlfriend, 29, came home Friday night, the couple argued. Lomongo attempted to leave but his girlfriend blocked the door.

That was when he allegedly poured lighter fluid and lit her blouse on fire to get her out of the way.

Lomongo was charged Saturday with second-degree assault. He is being held in lieu of $11,000 bail.

Teen visitor is robbed in area near airport

The victim told police that the suspect then pulled out a revolver and took the victim's wallet. Police said the victim did not immediately return to his hotel to tell his parents. He instead waited in the area for an hour before calling police.

There were no injuries, police said.
