Police Open Homicide Investigation After Woman Found Unresponsive in Kona

Nov 01, 2026

A 34-year-old woman's death in Kona has been ruled a homicide, and police are now asking the public for help finding her killer.

  • The woman was found unresponsive Tuesday evening; officers got the call around 9:35 p.m. and suspected foul play from the start.
  • An autopsy completed days later confirmed she was killed rather than dying of natural causes.
  • Hawaii County Police are asking anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.

Outlook: Police are pushing for tips from the public, so an arrest likely hinges on witnesses or new evidence coming forward.
