Two individuals wanted in California in connection with the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer were arrested Tuesday evening at Poʻipū Beach following a coordinated multi-agency operation.
On March 3, members of the Kauaʻi Police Department, the United States Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force, the State of Hawaiʻi Sheriff’s Division, and the Los Angeles Police Department conducted a coordinated operation to locate and arrest Shane Mahoney and Arianna Mitchell of California.
Upon contact with law enforcement, Mitchell fled on foot, resulting in a brief foot pursuit. Officers apprehended both subjects without further incident.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Mahoney was wanted on a warrant for Attempted Murder and Assault with a Firearm upon a Peace Officer in connection with a February 22, 2026, incident in which a deputy sheriff’s marked patrol vehicle was struck by gunfire. Mitchell was sought on a warrant for Accessory After the Fact. Both individuals are being held pending extradition proceedings to California.
