Marcus Araneta, 19, was shot and killed on the night of May 28, 2025, outside a home on Lahaina Street near Jade Street in the Waianae/Makaha area of Oahu. First responders found him unresponsive shortly after 9 p.m.; three other people — a 39-year-old woman, a 21-year-old man, and a 19-year-old man — were taken to hospital in serious condition with gunshot wounds.

Police say a group of suspects parked down the road, approached on foot and an altercation escalated into sustained gunfire as victims tried to retreat inside. Investigators recovered shell casings from two guns and later located firearms at a residence tied to one of the accused. An autopsy confirmed Araneta’s death was a homicide.

In the days after the shooting multiple people were arrested. An O‘ahu grand jury indicted three men in early June — Matthew Alexander Moon, 20; Olsen Burrows Fonoimoana, 20; and Styren Stevens, 19 — on charges including second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder, multiple counts of second-degree attempted murder and related firearms offenses; a 17-year-old was charged in Family Court and later also indicted on murder and attempted murder counts. The adults pleaded not guilty and were held without bail as the cases proceeded in separate tracks.

Does anyone have information about Marcus, the night of May 28, or the group involved?
