Jonnaven Monalim, 55, slipped out of his Kapolei home on the evening of November 5, 2025, saying he was going to collect gambling winnings and that he was with a friend, 42-year-old Clarence Luke. When he failed to return and stopped answering calls, a missing person inquiry became a homicide investigation after officers found a man’s body with clear gunshot wounds beside a dirt road near the Waipio Soccer Complex in Waipahu late on November 7. The Medical Examiner later confirmed the body was Monalim, and the autopsy ruled the cause of death multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators reconstructed a route from Kapolei through Pearl City using cellphone GPS and located blood, shell casings, a hearing aid, and other evidence near Waihona Street. A witness reported seeing two men beside a dark pickup; one, identified as Monalim, was bleeding from his forehead and pleading before two shots were heard. Surveillance showed a man in an Alpha Construction uniform disposing of clothing in a Waipahu dumpster; a hard hat and a Walmart bag with a black T-shirt and pants matching November 5 attire were recovered. DNA on the shirt matched Monalim, and witnesses and family members identified the truck and the man in the footage as Luke.

Did anyone in Kapolei or Pearl City see Monalim, his truck, or the dark pickup on the night of November 5?
