Mar. 31—Honolulu police are continuing to investigate Saturday's deadly shooting of a 45-year-old man in Aiea.

Malakai "Mo " Maumalanga was gunned down at his home at Eke Place at about 9 :45 p.m.

Responding officers found him lifeless on the ground in the carport with multiple gunshots to his upper body, according to Lt. Deena Thoemmes of the Honolulu Police Department's Homicide Detail.

Emergency Medical Services also responded and Maumalanga was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.
