Mateo D. Balinbin Jr., 40, was found dead inside a home in Nānāwale Estates after police responded to the subdivision at about 2:19 p.m. on Monday, May 20, 2013. Early reports described a violent scene; detectives were told another man had been seen leaving in a dark-colored pickup truck and the case was initially treated as a shooting. An autopsy later determined Balinbin died from a brain injury caused by a gunshot wound, and the death was ruled a homicide.

Balbinbin, remembered in his obituary as Bradda Boy, was described as a Pahoa resident, a former Hilo Termite employee, and a man who left behind a fiancée, children, and close family. Police said they tracked down and arrested Seon Keoni Aki, 43, of Nānāwale Estates the same day; detectives charged Aki with second-degree murder, firearm and ammunition offenses, and first-degree terroristic threatening.

Did anyone in the community have contact with Balinbin in the days before May 20, 2013, or remember seeing a dark-colored pickup in the area?
