Prosecutors charged a 26-year-old man in a kidnapping and botched murder attempt that left another man in a coma last year after he was shot in the face and drove himself to a medical clinic in Waianae.

Brandon Lafoga of Waianae was charged last month with second-degree attempted murder and a felony firearm offense. He was arrested at Honolulu Airport on Friday. He had been serving time in Alaska on an unrelated domestic violence conviction, according to a police affidavit filed Monday in District Court.

He is being held at the Oahu Community Correctional Center in lieu of $1 million bail.

Lafoga is the second person charged in connection with the Sept. 16 robbery and shooting of Kele Stout, who told police he was kidnapped by a co-worker in a countertop manufacturing company van and beaten before being shot by another man multiple times.

The shooter was Lafoga, according to court documents, who told an ex-girlfriend in a phone call that he shot a man to “earn rank.”

The kidnapping began with an argument in which Stout’s co-worker, Ranier Ines, accused Stout of going through his bag, the affidavit said.

The two got into a company van and Stout was driving when Ines pulled a handgun from his backpack, pointed it at Stout and told him to drive to Waianae. Ines allegedly struck Stout’s brow with the gun, causing a large gash. Stout said he heard Ines telling someone on the phone they will have rent and that he was going to “rob and dump the body.”

After Stout arrived in Waianae, he was ordered to sit on a cooler in a garage where he was bound with shoelaces with a towel covering his head, and beaten by Ines and Lafoga for about 20 minutes, documents said.

Stout said he was forced back into the van and he heard Ines tell Lafoga to “ditch the body” and “handle him.” Stout, who was driven to an unknown location while still tied up, heard Lafoga approaching him, closed his eyes and was shot in the face, the affidavit said.

Lafoga resumed driving and Stout freed his hands. While Lafoga was driving, he allegedly fired at Stout again, hitting him in the back and buttocks, according to the affidavit.

Lafoga stopped the van and got out, apparently to meet with someone in Nanakuli, and left the engine running. Stout moved to the driver’s seat and drove himself to Waianae Coast Comprehensive Health Center, where a security guard found him leaning on the horn and barely conscious.

Stout was in a coma for several days but later recovered from gunshot wounds to the head, face, torso, buttocks and legs.

After CrimeStoppers made a request for information about the shooting, tipsters alerted police of Lafoga’s involvement in the shooting and said his mother had flown him to Alaska.

In April police learned Lafoga was being held at a Wasilla prison; he was scheduled to be released June 28 after being charged in the Hawaii case.

Ines is awaiting trial on a robbery and kidnapping charge.
