Manuel Manny Gregory Anthony Carvalho, 11, was shot and killed at Camp Honokaia near Honokaʻa on Hawaiʻi Island on August 28, 2022. Responders were called about 2:30 p.m. after a child was found unconscious near the rifle range; Manny was airlifted to Hilo Medical Center and pronounced dead. An autopsy recorded a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators described an unsupervised minor handling a loaded firearm at the range; as the child was placing the gun back down it discharged. Police said the shooting was believed accidental and they did not suspect foul play. Hawaiʻi Island police recovered 18 firearms and ammunition and opened 23 firearm-related offenses, including an allegation of criminally negligent storage tied to three adult registered owners. The specific gun was reported to be owned by the father of the minor who handled it.

Manny’s parents later sued the Boy Scouts of America and related entities alleging failures of supervision and safety; the complaint said Manny was seated when struck and named an AK-47-style rifle. The defendants denied negligence and the civil case was later settled with confidential terms. Anyone who attended the camp day or has information about supervision and firearm storage at the rifle range is asked to come forward.
