HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - The Honolulu Police Department confirms that the security guard attacked at Fort Street Mall last week has died.
Authorities said the 58-year-old man was hit on the head with a stainless steel water bottle.
Police arrested a man at the scene, but they now say he was misidentified by a witness. He was released from custody and is no longer a suspect in this case.
The actual suspect — who is still on the run — now faces second-degree murder charges.
An investigation remains ongoing.
