Police have released a 39-year-old man who fatally stabbed an Oahu man. The stabbing occurred following a confrontation over a stolen bag. The man who was killed was named Brycen Iona, 20, of Kaneohe. Iona died due to a stab wound to his chest, the Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office said.
Police said Iona was part of a group who was walking near the concession area of Queen’s Surf about 2:25 a.m. Sunday and stole a bag and ran to their car.
The owner of the bag confronted them and an argument ensued, police said. Police allege that Iona struck the owner, and the owner stabbed Iona and another man.
The bag owner fled but was found a few blocks away on Kalakaua Avenue and arrested on suspicion of second-degree homicide, second-degree assault and resisting arrest, as well as a contempt violation but he was never charged by police before he was released.
The owner, who has no local address, has prior convictions for two misdemeanor assaults.
Interesting that all the above info i.e. priors, no address, and is obviously the one who committed the stabbing is being released. Not too sure what this means.
What a heartwarming story of justice and karma. Good to know that there are still people with spines in this world. Go Oahu dude! Go Gamerz!
First of just wanna say sorry for the lost of a good braddah…all you dumb fakas quick to judge someone who is not here anymore…someone who has been murdered little do you know the same shit could happen to your guys own family members…as jesus once said “let those with no sin cast the first stone” all fakas on here talkin mad shit about this braddah but garrenz you guys did the samething before so no be talking yo shit like you know him cause you dont…to the family and friends of braddah brycen iona ill see you guys at his memorial party down at iges…chee hee
“…same shit could happen to your guys own family members.”
What you say is true.
Especially with punks like Brycen & his ilk terrorizing people.
~
“…talking yo shit like you know him cause you don’t.”
Wrong. We do know him.
His criminal record says all we need to know.
He pretty much got what he deserved.
Lol. Good. Fuck that Guy.
My heart goes out to the ohana.
It’s so a shame what I see on here he’s no longer and people talk down on this person ya he did what he did but still have respect.
He will not be missed; at least not by anyone important. Sometimes you need to accept that there are bad apples. The faster they’re tossed, the better. It was only a matter of time before Brycen Iona took his criminal activity to the next level.
I feel bad for the boys family. But you had to see this coming you can’t just go out STEALING people belongings!! You get what you pay for! Especially DOPE SMOKERS!! WHY ARE YOU OUT 2:25 IN THE MORNING SMOKING DOPE AND LOOKING FOR UR NEXT FIX!!!
This is truly a sad story. Unfortunately, this young person did not see the wrong of his ways and take the necessary steps to change himself before something like this had to happen. May his family receive God’s comfort. And may the person who was stolen from also receive God’s comfort. I imagine he is hurting too. Any decent human being would be.
Mike,
You asked for comments to be deleted. We agreed to even though it isn’t our policy because you stated you were very upset at what you had said. However, you then post AGAIN and even though it is less harsh, you still got a couple of jabs in. Again, myself or any of my staff don’t care that you post, and we encourage it, as everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, we won’t be deleting anymore comments, so tread carefully, as anything you say (including your latest comment) will be staying up. Aloha.
first of all i want to say im SO SO sorry for your lose & second Nobody deserves to be MURDERED. how dare all of you who are posting those Heartless , No class comments , your the kind of people who when shit happens to others its okay but when it happens to you , your PIST the hell off ! you guys should honestly be ashamed of yourself . even if he did make Mistakes everyone does your Not perfect ! how the hell do you know if he was a Thug or not ? you didnt know him personally ! as a person who has had a friend Murdered for no Reason at all it makes me sick to think there are people like you out there !
Yep, I asked for the comments to be deleted & mahalo for doing so.
My aggressive reaction was more to the memory of all the times I’ve been harassed by punks like this.
Just walking to the store you pass them & they taunt & threaten you.
Disappointed in myself it bothers me.
Would rather the passing elephant, unperturbed by the village dogs yapping at his heels.
Just so nobody thinks we randomly delete comments I wanted to post one myself. A couple of comments on her were deleted at the request of the user… He stated “being drunk and posting is not a good idea.”
While this may have been true, but probably not. I want to encourage you guys to post more comments, both on this website and anywhere else. Everyone has a right to an opinion and stance, that is why we don’t delete comments.
However, be mindful of what you are saying, especially on topics like this. There are two sides to every story, and you always want to be careful what you say. I you take a stand, then stick with it. Not all large websites like this one will be willing to delete comments, and we usually don’t either, but the user seemed pretty upset about what he had said.
Again, I encourage stances and comments, but be mindful, as once it is said, thousands of people will see it. Thanks for commenting guys, hope you enjoy the rest of the site.
Happy that another gangster acting thug is off the streets
of course at home he is your angel helping G-pa
yet some other persons Grandpa was scared when the cowards came along harassing people.Rememeber dont fuck with people you dont know
keep yer hands off other peoples shit
spray the grave for me as im out of the country Mike…
Mike, you got to be one insincere judgmental person,huh?! Has it ever occurred to you that the media can twist information,such as the truth?! Brycen was at the wrong place at the wrong time…..he was never formally charged for ANY robbery e.g…pc game because he was acquitted of charges because it wasn’t even him!!!!….but the news doesn’t tell you folks that!!!! Of course they wouldn’t apdmit they’re wrong!! Only his family and friends know that….The world would be a better place without ignorant people like you who think they’re perfect….
Michiosy Michiuo passed judgement.
Verdict?
How can you say he deserved to die so what if my cousin did something stupid we all did in our lives for you i hope you go home to your mom, dad, kids, nieces, nephews, anties, uncles and say you love them because youll never know when you will come back home and im so happy to know that i go out to sea and put my life on the line to defend your country so you can go home every day a free person. im so happy to know my family gets hurt and the public just thinks my cousin was a thug but you know what you dont know about the man who always had a baby in his arms at parties the one who made everyone laugh the one who helped my grandfather out whenever he was in need and the one who someday hoped to serve in the armed services like me. So for real go home hug all you family members and spend all the time that you have with them wisely because i know he did and i know i am while im on leave for a short time. have a great day you fucking asshole
He DID deserve it. This wasn’t his first time mobbing people like the coward he was. The blame is on him and his parents. And people like you who did not intervene when it was clearly known just what kind of person he was. Scum. Now, I sincerely hope he is now at peace and was able to go to the “better” place, but his time here on Earth was filled with repaeted wrong moves.
Your cousin was a cocksucking douchebag, it’s unfortunate he didn’t die sooner.
are you aware of his strong arm robbery coupled with assault that he pulled at PC Gamerz? Because the entire internet just saw it. It is quite the video.
What did the quiet, nerdy guys at Gamerz do to incite his rage?
It seems like he picked a fight with someone a little tougher than he was.
As far as your alleged Navy service…go waive your flag of oppression somewhere else.
Your ‘cuz is a internet joke, check it out: http://www.reddit.com/r/JusticePorn/comments/uhy5p/gamers_get_justice/
He totally deserved it. The only pathetic thing is that you believe the army would take a thug like him. There are consequenses for your actions. Something people like you don’t seem to understand.
Your cousin is dead because he’s a moron who did stupid shit, and it caught up to him. Now he wont be doing that shit anymore.
Karma the “good kid” got what he deserved , Cool place you guys have there
life is about choices…
The question to ask is how many people have Brycen Iona & his crew mugged?
