In the early hours of May 21, 2022, patrol officers responded to a shooting at the intersection of Nānāwale Boulevard and Seaview Road in Nānāwale Estates, Puna. Officers found 36-year-old Native Hawaiian man Junio Resun lying in the roadway with family nearby. He was taken to Hilo Medical Center and pronounced dead at 6:55 a.m. An autopsy later determined a gunshot wound to the chest as the cause of death and the death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators from the Area I Criminal Investigation Section treated the case as a second-degree murder and conducted witness interviews and forensic testing. Police did not publicly identify a motive, suspects, or file charges in the updates cited, and they renewed appeals for anyone who was in the area around 2:30 a.m. that morning or who knew what led up to the shooting to come forward.

Did anyone who was in Nānāwale Estates around 2:30 a.m. that night see or hear anything that could help explain why Junio Resun was targeted?
