A 50-year-old man is recovering in the hospital after police say his girlfriend attacked him with a weapon during an argument at Maili Beach Park Thursday night, and officers still have not found her. The confrontation unfolded at around 9:30 p.m. on Oahu's Leeward Coast, and as of the following morning, no arrests had been made.
According to Hawaii News Now, officers were called to the park after the couple's argument escalated and the woman allegedly used a weapon to attack the man. Police said the suspect then fled the area and had not been located.
Details Police Have Released So Far
The woman allegedly used a weapon during the fight. No arrests had been made as the search continued, and police had not located the woman as of the morning after the attack.
The case echoes another West Oahu shooting reported in the area, though the available accounts differ on key details and cannot be confirmed as the same incident. A KITV report described a separate shooting involving a 41-year-old man in Maili, with police arresting a suspect in Makaha, but the evidence does not establish whether that case is connected to Thursday's attack at the beach park.
A Pattern Advocates Have Flagged in West Oahu
This is not the first time HPD has opened an attempted-murder investigation tied to the Maili Beach Park area. In a previous case reported by Hawaii News Now, a 41-year-old man suffered an apparent gunshot wound near the north end of the same park, and the suspect in that shooting fled the scene and remained at large, illustrating how HPD has at times launched multiple attempted-murder investigations in West Oahu within a short span.
The Hawai‘i State Coalition Against Domestic Violence reported that service providers served 651 victims in a single day in 2025, up from 579 in 2024 and 581 in 2023, though those figures measure one day of service requests rather than the total number of domestic-violence incidents statewide. The coalition has also published research concerning Native Hawaiian communities.
For now, the investigation into Thursday's attack at Maili Beach Park remains open. Her whereabouts remain unknown as the search continues.
