The two teenage suspects—identified as Luke Allen and Ty Munoz—were arrested on suspicion of hunting on private land without permission, as well as other violations including lacking a hunting license. Allen was also arrested over the allegedly unregistered semi-automatic rifle.
The case has been referred to the Maui County Prosecutors Office for review and charging, the DLNR release said.
