Courtney Leimomi Raymond-Arakaki, 34, of Waianae, Hawaii, was killed during a late-night neighbor dispute on August 31, 2024. According to authorities, a neighbor, 59-year-old Hiram Silva, drove a front-end loader into a carport and then opened fire. The attack left Raymond-Arakaki and two other women, 36-year-old Cherell Keamo and 29-year-old Jessyca Amasiu, dead; the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office ruled Raymond-Arakaki’s cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds. Silva was also killed that night, suffering a gunshot wound to the torso. Silva reportedly had both a pistol and a long gun.

A resident of the home, identified as Rishard Carnate, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder after shooting Silva but was later released pending investigation; his attorney has said he acted in self-defense. No formal charges against Carnate have been announced. The community in Waianae continues to mourn Raymond-Arakaki and the other victims.
