Honolulu police have arrested a 29-year-old man in connection with a deadly assault and robbery at Pearl Kai Shopping Center in Aiea, as reported by Hawaii News Now.
Officers with HPD’s District 3 Crime Reduction Unit arrested the man just before 1:30 p.m. Saturday on suspicion of manslaughter and first-degree robbery.
Police identified the victim as 47-year-old Steve Junior Cabagbag.
The incident happened around 8:50 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, outside Baskin-Robbins at the shopping center.
According to police, a man approached Cabagbag and began arguing with him before assaulting him and taking his backpack.
The suspect ran off, and Cabagbag collapsed and became unresponsive.
Emergency Medical Services took him to a hospital, where he later died.
His nephew, Brysen Sorino, told Hawaii News Now that Cabagbag leaves behind two daughters, ages 19 and 21.

Police have not publicly named the man who was arrested.
The investigation remains ongoing.
