On the night of November 7, 2019, 16-year-old Native Hawaiian Starsky Willy was shot in the torso on Kula Kolea Drive near the Kalihi Valley Homes in Honolulu. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and died the next day, November 8, 2019. Police said shots were exchanged in a chaotic scene; officers reported hearing BB or airsoft-style fire and saw a homeowner, Richard Obrero, wearing a ballistic vest and saying people were shooting at his house.

Authorities arrested Obrero that day and prosecutors filed six felony complaints, including second-degree murder, attempted murder counts and a firearm offense. Prosecutors also sought a grand jury indictment; the grand jury declined to return any true bills, but a district court later found probable cause on the complaint charges and sent the case to circuit court. In September 2022 the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court ruled the sequence of pursuing a grand jury and then the complaint-and-preliminary-hearing path violated the state constitution, halting the prosecution as charged. No conviction resulted from the dismissed prosecution.

Did anyone in the Kalihi Valley area see or hear anything that night that could shed light on what happened?
