History

Two men were indicted by a federal grand jury in January 2021 for an alleged racially motivated attack Feb. 13, 2014, on a Caucasian man when he tried to move into their Native Hawaiian neighborhood of Kahakuloa on Maui. The indictment charges Kaulana Alo Kaonohi and Levi Aki Jr. with a hate crime for allegedly attacking a man, identified only as C.K., with a shovel because of his actual and perceived race and color, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Hawaii, the FBI and the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, said in a news release Friday; as reported by Honolulu's Star-Advertiser on January 17th, 2020 online edition [5]
