Two men charged in connection with a recent shooting in Kakaako made their first court appearance Tuesday at Honolulu District Court.
Keith L. Rambin, 21, of no local address was charged Monday with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree robbery and firearm offenses. Denzel Davis, 22, of Wahiawa was charged with first-degree robbery and firearm offenses.
Bail for each is set at
$1 million. Judge Lono Lee set their preliminary hearing for Thursday.
Police said a 46-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the chest following an altercation at about
4 a.m. March 28 inside a building at 532 Cummins St.
Emergency Medical Services transported the victim in critical condition to a hospital.
At about 8 p.m. Saturday, Rambin and Davis met police at the old Sports Authority parking lot at 333 Ward Ave. to turn themselves in.
According to a court document, the 46-year-old victim told police that two men asked him for money. When he told them he didn’t have any, they took his cellphone.
A manager at Club Cue, a nearby bar, told police he arrived at about 4 a.m. when he saw the victim walking in a connecting hallway. About 10 minutes later the man “stumbled toward the doorway to the club and told him to call an ambulance because he was shot,” the court document said.
In a separate matter, Davis is scheduled to stand trial April 17 on charges of sexual assault in a 2011 case.
In September 2011 Davis, then 16, and an 18-year-old man allegedly forced a 17-year-old girl to drink vodka before Davis sexually assaulted her, according to a court document.
Police arrested him later that day.
Family Court in January 2016 waived its jurisdiction over Davis, and the case was transferred to the Circuit Court’s criminal division. An Oahu grand jury indicted him as an adult on two counts of first-degree sexual assault and two counts of first-degree attempted sexual assault in the case.
