Isaac Mamea, 34, a Native Hawaiian man, was shot while seated outside Maunakea Liquor & Grocery on Maunakea Street in Honolulu’s Chinatown late the evening of September 20, 2017. Police say a gunman approached on foot and fired multiple times with a handgun. Mamea was taken to The Queen’s Medical Center but was pronounced dead shortly after midnight, placing his death in the early hours of September 21.

Investigators reported the shooter fled in a white Toyota Matrix with Hawaiʻi license plate NTW 970; police later recovered that vehicle but not the driver. Authorities publicly identified Tiseya Eric Puapuaga as the suspect wanted for Murder in the Second Degree and asked anyone with information to come forward, noting he was known to frequent Chinatown, Aʻala Park, and the Keeaumoku area and had ties to Northern California, including earlier residence in Sacramento.

Did anyone in those neighborhoods see Isaac that night or have information about the vehicle or the suspect’s whereabouts?
