Overview
- The fatal assault occurred on Aug. 5 at the Sands of Kahana in West Maui when a naked man entered a security office and later the guard, Michael Dyer, 63, was found unresponsive and pronounced dead.
- Legend Storer, 20, has been charged with second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and indecent exposure, has pleaded not guilty and a judge ordered him held without bail with a preliminary hearing scheduled in Wailuku.
- Prosecutors say surveillance video was reviewed and a criminal complaint alleges the attacker used a five-gallon water bottle as a “dangerous instrument” in the assault.
- Officers located a naked, injured Storer in the Kahana neighborhood about 90 minutes after the attack, he was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for evaluation and investigators tied him to the footage.
- Authorities have not publicly identified a motive, prosecutors are pursuing enhanced sentences under Hawaii law because the victim was older than 60, and the case will move through preliminary hearings and possible indictment steps next.
