HPD Searches for Armed Carjacking Suspect at KCC

Nov 09, 2026

A masked gunman carjacked a college student in broad daylight near Diamond Head, and it's raising fresh safety concerns in a neighborhood that had already seen a scary incident just weeks earlier.

  • A 19-year-old was approached at gunpoint around 11 a.m. at Kapiolani Community College and robbed of his blue Toyota Celica.
  • The attacker wore a hoodie and a white face mask, and the victim was not hurt.
  • This is the second brazen crime in the area in two weeks, following an attempted kidnapping at a nearby condo.
  • Residents, including older neighbors who described the area as quiet, say they're shocked and now questioning whether the neighborhood is still safe.

Outlook: Police are seeking tips and the suspect remains at large, so expect continued community concern until an arrest is made.
