Ah Nee also was charged Wednesday with carrying or using a firearm in the commission of a separate felony and one ammunition offense.

His bail was set at $1.753 million, and he is scheduled to make his initial court appearance today in Hilo District Court.

The charges stem from a shooting that occurred early Tuesday morning.

At 1:37 a.m., Puna patrol officers responded to a report of a man who had been shot multiple times in front of a residence in the 18-1200 block of Waikiki Street in the Livingston subdivision.

A police press release about the shooting did not provide a possible motive.
