Hawai‘i Island police have charged 40-year-old Shane Fann of Mountain View, with attempted murder and firearm-related offenses following an altercation in Eden Roc earlier this week.

After conferring with the County Prosecutors Office, detectives charged Fann with second-degree attempted murder, ownership or possession of firearm prohibited, two counts ownership or possession of ammunition prohibited, carrying/use of a firearm in the commission of a separate felony, and carrying or possessing a loaded firearm on public highways. His bail is set at $1,150.000.

The charges against Fann stem from a September 26 incident where a 42 year-old Puna man called police dispatch reporting that he had been shot and was driving himself to get treatment. HPD and Hawai’i County Fire Department personnel met the victim in the parking lot of a convenience store in Mountain View and he was transported to the Hilo Medical Center Emergency Room with potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds to his left forearm and facial area.  He was admitted and later upgraded to stable condition. He remains hospitalized and is scheduled to undergo surgery later this week.

While officers were responding to the initial call, police received another call from a male party that reported he had been involved in a shooting incident outside his residence on Waimaka O Pele Road, in Mountain View. He reported that he had been shot at and then returned fire.  Police responded to the residence and arrested Fann without incident. Although Fann reported being shot at, he was not injured.

Search warrants were later served on Fann’s vehicle and residence, where a firearm and ammunition were recovered.  He remains in police custody pending his initial court appearance in Hilo District Court today.

Police are asking anyone who may have information on this incident, to contact the police department’s non-emergency number at (808) 935-3311, or Detective Casey Cabral at (808) 961-2384 or via email at Casey.Cabral@hawaiicounty.gov.
