Honolulu police have arrested a 23-year-old man in connection with Sunday’s beating death of a 64-year-old man in the Ala Moana area.

Officers responded to a defibrillator-type call on Sheridan Street just before 3:30 p.m.

Lt. Deena Thoemmes of HPD’s homicide division told reporters Sunday evening that responding officers found the victim on the sidewalk “bleeding profusely” from his head following a “physical altercation.”

He was taken in critical condition to The Queen’s Medical Center. Police said the victim’s condition deteriorated and he later died.

Through a police investigation, it was determined the victim was attempting to evict the 23-year-old man’s girlfriend from her apartment at 620 Sheridan St. when the altercation occurred.

After the suspect assaulted the victim, the suspect fled in a black Nissan sedan, police said. No evidence of weapons was found, Thoemmes said.

Officers of the District 1 Crime Reduction Unit located the suspect on Hopaka Street at about 7:40 p.m. and arrested him on suspicion of second-degree murder, police said today.
