Authorities are searching for an unknown male suspect wanted in connection with a violent armed robbery and carjacking that took place early Wednesday morning in Haiku, Hawaii. The incident occurred around 5:30 a.m. along the Hana Highway, specifically between Hookipa Beach Park and Kuau Cove. According to the Maui Police Department, the suspect confronted a 46-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman, allegedly discharging what sources describe as a non-functional firearm before stealing their vehicle. Both victims sustained injuries but were treated and released at the scene by emergency medics. Following the theft, officers located the stolen car shortly thereafter in Haiku and identified a second vehicle believed to be linked to the crime. When law enforcement approached the scene, both vehicles attempted to flee but were subsequently abandoned. The suspect and at least one other individual escaped on foot, disappearing into the surrounding pastureland. Police officials have confirmed that the attack was not random and emphasized that there is no ongoing danger to the general public. The Maui Police Department continues to canvass the area and review evidence as the investigation remains active. Residents in the Haiku and Kuau communities have expressed concern but have been assured that the situation is contained. Anyone with information regarding the suspect’s whereabouts or the abandoned vehicles is strongly encouraged to contact the Maui Police Department by dialing 911. Tips can be provided anonymously, and investigators are urging the public to remain vigilant while sharing any relevant details that could assist in locating the individual at large.
