Hawaiʻi Island police are investigating the death of an infant in Holualoa.
The child’s mother reported that she had found her 2-month-old baby in bed unresponsive on Monday morning.
Police do not suspect foul play. They have ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death, and have classified it as a coroner’s inquest.
A Kona man has been charged with kidnapping and other offenses in connection with a robbery last week in Kailua-Kona.
25-year-old Alihilani Stringert of Kailua-Kona was nabbed by police for his alleged role in a February 17th robbery and assault on Lamaokeola Street.
Police say two men in their thirties were held down by to intruders said to be brandishing a handgun and a machete. The suspects demanded money and marijuana and then fled on foot after taking a wallet and 10 grams of marijuana.
The victims declined medical treatment.
Stringert was taken in on an unrelated case – unauthorized control of a propelled vehicle – and he was later charged in the robbery.
