William James Dahlin Jr., 49, was fatally shot after an altercation at the 2012 Sports Bar & Grill in McCully in the early hours of July 19, 2023. Witnesses described a dispute that became physical; Dahlin reportedly struck Myron Young Takushi before prosecutors say Takushi produced an unregistered Glock from a fanny pack and fired repeatedly. Dahlin was found unresponsive, taken to The Queen’s Medical Center, and pronounced dead at about 1:15 a.m. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from gunshot wounds to the torso, and spent 9mm casings were recovered at the scene.

Authorities say at least two witnesses identified Takushi as the shooter and that he pointed the gun at Dahlin’s girlfriend before fleeing. Police located and arrested Takushi later that day in Kapahulu; he was held with bail set at $1 million. A grand jury subsequently indicted him on second-degree murder, first-degree terroristic threatening, and related weapons charges. Dahlin had worked as a background actor and crew member on NCIS: Hawai’i and was later memorialized on the series.

If anyone was at the bar that night or has information about the confrontation, please share what is known.
