Stacey B. Gilman was 19 when a stray or deliberate bullet struck her on Waikiki Beach near Fort DeRussy during Independence Day fireworks on July 4, 1981. She had come to Oahu from New Jersey and was walking near the water with her sister and a friend when a single gunshot hit her in the head. She was taken to hospital but did not survive.

Witnesses in the crowded, noisy shoreline described two different young men as persons of interest. One was a slim-to-medium build young man with dark wavy hair to the neck, a mustache, darker complexion, and pockmarked face. The other was a medium-built, fair-complexioned young man with blond straight crew-cut hair and light-colored eyes, whom witnesses thought might be a military serviceman.

Despite sketches and witness accounts, no named suspect, arrest, charge, trial, or conviction is publicly documented, and the killing remains unresolved. If anyone remembers that night, the people Stacey was with, or those two men, please come forward with information.
