A 44-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl died Friday in a double suicide in Kahuku, police said.
Paramedics arrived at Turtle Bay Resort and found both people on the ground in the parking lot, each with an apparent gunshot wound to the head, at about 8:30 p.m., an Emergency Medical Services report said.
Police said the man and girl were seen inflicting fatal injuries to themselves with a handgun. They were taken to Kahuku Hospital, where they died.
Homicide detectives were investigating the deaths as a double suicide, not a murder-suicide, police said.
Hawaii News Now identified the man as Shane Francisco, the subject of a missing person’s report on Thursday.
The Honolulu Police Department’s CrimeStoppers program said Francisco was last seen about 11 p.m. Sept. 25 in Mililani and was“emotionally distraught.”
His relationship to the girl was not clear, but police said they are not related.
