HPD detectives are continuing to investigate a 2023 homicide that left 68-year-old Albert Harry Pacheco Sr., of Hilo, dead.

On December 3, 2023, South Hilo patrol officers responded to a report of an unresponsive male seated within a vehicle on a banana farm in Hilo. Officers located Pacheco, later determined to be a farm employee, seated in his vehicle with a single gunshot wound to his upper thigh area.

Following an autopsy, the forensic pathologist ruled the case a homicide. The case is currently classified as second-degree murder.

During the course of the investigation, Area I Criminal Investigation Section detectives have interviewed numerous witnesses but have not yet identified a motive or suspect in the case.

Police ask anyone who may have information relative to this case to call Detective Christopher Jelsma of the Area I Criminal Investigation Section at (808) 961-2386 or via email at Christopher.Jelsma@hawaiicounty.gov.
