Frederick James Bacolini, 77, was shot during an argument at the Nāpili home he shared near Lahaina, Maui, and died after being taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center. The shooting occurred on the evening of April 14, 2020, shortly after 8:00 p.m., and witnesses reported a tense, shouting exchange that escalated up to the single shot.

Police detained the man who had been arguing with Bacolini, John Lyons Jr., at the scene and opened a homicide investigation. Within days prosecutors charged Lyons with second-degree murder and added firearm-related counts, including using a firearm in the commission of a felony and failing to register a firearm; bail was set in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Court proceedings since the arrest have centered on pretrial issues including Lyons’ fitness for trial and the path toward trial.

Did anyone in the Nāpili or Lahaina area hear or see anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
