Suspect in Kailua killing is indicted

An Oahu grand jury indicted Daniel Kahanaoi on a charge of second-degree murder yesterday in the shooting death of Kailua attorney Craig Kimsel. He remains in custody, unable to post $1 million bail.

Kahanaoi, 45, is also charged with first-degree burglary, firearm violations and violating a temporary restraining order.

Police said Kahanaoi went to Kimsel's Oneawa Street home April 28 looking for his ex-girlfriend, Rusty Anoba, who was hiding inside. Kahanaoi shot Kimsel in the back as he walked away after telling Kahanaoi the woman was not there, Kimsel's brother said.

Anoba filed for a restraining order March 17, claiming that Kahanaoi assaulted her when she told him she wanted to leave.
