Man killed in apparent hit-and-run in Kunia identified
A man who was found dead Tuesday in an apparent hit-and-run in Kunia has been identified by the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office as Meechok Chanphut, 49, of Kunia.
Paramedics found Chanphut on Kunia Road near Royal Kunia at 12:26 a.m. and declared him dead. An Emergency Medical Services report said Chanphut “may have been the victim of a hit-and-run.”
The northbound lanes of Kunia Road at Plantation Road were closed as police investigated the scene, but they have since been reopened.
