John Hoffman was a 5-year-old boy from Pahoa, Hawaii, who died on May 6, 2016, alongside his 7-year-old sister, Clara, and their mother, Aracely Hoffman. Police were called to the family home in Leilani Estates in the early morning after John Ali Hoffman reported intruders had entered and shot his wife. Officers stopped Hoffman nearby and found an adult woman’s body in his vehicle’s trunk; when they returned to the house they discovered the two children dead inside.

Authorities quickly focused on John Ali Hoffman, alleging he had killed his wife and both children; he was arrested that day and charged, including first-degree murder and other homicide counts. The criminal proceedings did not move straight to trial.

Does anyone have information about the family, the Leilani Estates neighborhood at that time, or details that could shed light on what happened that night?
