Honolulu police on Monday were investigating an apparent murder-suicide involving a man who shot his child at their home in Waialua.
Police responded to a call regarding an argument Monday morning. They arrived to find a girl who said she was unable to open a locked bedroom where her father and three-year-old brother were.
Officers found an open window and entered the room to find the dead man and the child lying on a bed.
Police said both bodies had gunshot wounds — the man's being self-inflicted.
An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday.
Police said the child's mother was not at home when the shooting occurred.
The Medical Examiner’s Office said the names of the deceased were unavailable Monday evening, but neighbors told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that the dead father was Dexter Blue-Lorenzo, also known as Dexter Lazo.
