(BIVN) – Police are looking for an unknown suspect wanted for questioning in a reported Hilo assault that took place back on September 2, 2023.

Police say the unidentified man – depicted in a police sketch – is one of two male suspects who allegedly injured the male victim by striking him multiple times in the parking lot of Coquis Hideaway Restaurant on Kamehameha Avenue.

From the Hawaiʻi Police Department:

The department’s sketch artist drew a likeliness of the unknown suspect based on the recollection of a witness.

He is described to be of Caucasian decent in his mid to late twenties, 5-feet 9-inches tall, 190 pounds, with a muscular build and light-colored eyes.

The investigation stems from an affray resulting in substantial injuries to a male victim after being struck numerous times in the face by two male individuals, one of which is described in the sketch.
