Police are looking for Jhun Ley Irorita in connection with the death of Helen Prestosa.
Police said they are looking for a 25-year-old man wanted in the slaying of a 39-year-old Kalihi woman.
Jhun Ley Irorita is wanted for questioning in connection with the death of Helen Prestosa, who was last seen about 7 p.m. Nov. 19 in Kalihi.
Sgt. Kim Buffett said Prestosa was initially reported as a missing person, but police received new information and reclassified the case to a second-degree murder.
Buffett declined to say whether police have recovered Prestosa’s body, but said detectives need to talk to Irorita, who is a suspect in the case.
Irorita is 5 foot 11 inches tall, weighs 130 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes. He drives a white 2013 four-door Toyota Tacoma pickup and is known to frequent the Kalihi, Windward, and Waipahu areas.

The quantity and quality sucks
Any chance that CS could have posted the lic plate of the suspect’s vehicle? Sure would have been easier to locate…
Nah, instead we get the Hawaii equivalent of the infamous “white box truck”.
