Armed Carjacking Suspect at Kapiolani Community College Still at Large
A gunman carjacked a student in broad daylight on a Honolulu college campus and is still being hunted, a scary sign for a neighborhood that saw a daylight kidnapping attempt just last week.
- A man with a black handgun threatened a student at Kapiolani Community College around 11 a.m. and stole his car.
- The suspect fled in the stolen dark blue Toyota Celica toward Kahala; the student was not hurt.
- This is the second brazen daylight crime in the area in just over a week, following an attempted kidnapping nearby in Diamond Head.
- Students and neighbors say they're unsettled, since the area is usually considered safe despite campus security being present.
- The school is telling students and staff to stay alert in parking lots, avoid resisting an armed suspect, and report anything suspicious right away.
Outlook: Police are still searching for the suspect, described as a man in his 30s with a goatee, and the campus is expected to step up security warnings until he's caught.
