Hawai‘i Island police have launched a manhunt for 42-year-old Jordin Trevena-Garon of Ocean View, warning the public that he is wanted on an outstanding arrest warrant and should be considered armed and dangerous. Investigators say he is tied to multiple violent charges and are urging residents in the Kaʻū district not to approach him under any circumstances but to call police instead.
Who police are searching for
In a news release, the Hawai‘i Police Department reported that Trevena-Garon is wanted on an arrest warrant alleging three counts of second-degree assault linked to incidents in 2023. Police described him as about 6 feet tall, approximately 250 pounds, with short brown hair and brown eyes, and listed his age as 42.
How to report tips
Local outlets relaying the department’s advisory say anyone with information on Trevena-Garon’s whereabouts should contact Lieutenant Erich Jackson at (808) 326-4646 ext. 226, call the Hawai‘i Police Department non-emergency line at (808) 935-3311, or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300, according to Big Island Now. Those reports also point out that anyone who harbors or conceals a wanted person could face criminal charges.
Police caution: do not approach
The department stressed in its release that Trevena-Garon should be treated as armed and dangerous and that the public should let officers handle any contact, according to the Hawai‘i Police Department. “Do not approach Trevena-Garon and contact police immediately,” the notice states, reiterating that anyone who conceals a wanted person risks criminal charges.
Why it matters locally
The warning lands at a tense moment for Hawaiian Ocean View Estates, where recent police activity and emergency responses in the broader Kaʻū area have already turned heads. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser first spotlighted the search and the department’s advisory, detailing the warrant and the ongoing effort to track Trevena-Garon down.
