Honolulu police charged a man who was the subject of a five-day manhunt with second-degree assault instead of attempted murder in connection with a June 3 shooting in the Liliha area.
In addition, police on Friday charged Jorge Cano Jr., 37, with kidnapping, first- and third-degree sexual assault, using a firearm to commit the crimes and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Cano’s bail is $1 million.
Cano is on probation for 2015 felony drug and drug paraphernalia possession convictions, and was wanted for allegedly violating the terms of conditions of his probation. A state judge issued a $20,000 bench warrant for Cano’s arrest May 17.
Police arrested Cano Wednesday, near the Hawaiian Humane Society. They said Cano shot a 37-year-old man twice in the stomach during an argument. Police said the victim fled but later returned, then went by ambulance to a hospital in serious condition.
It was during the shooting investigation when police said they learned of the sexual assaults. They said Cano sexually assaulted a 27-year-old woman on May 29 in a residence near where Cano was later arrested. The woman had not reported being sexually assaulted. When police contacted her, they said she told them Cano had also kidnapped her.
