Man wounded in shooting

A shooting early yesterday afternoon left a 26-year-old Wahiawa man in critical condition at The Queen's Medical Center with a wound to the left side of his face just below the mouth.

Police said the man was brought to the Waialua Fire Station by another man shortly after 2 p.m.

Investigators are trying to determine if there is a connection between the shooting and a mailed package containing a substantial amount of marijuana that was delivered to a wrong address on Kukea Circle. The marijuana package was turned in to police shortly before 2 p.m.

Man charged in stabbing case

Police yesterday charged a Kalihi man with first-degree assault, attempted murder in the second degree and first-degree burglary for allegedly forcing his way into a Kahanu Street residence Tuesday and stabbing two people.

Rengell Del Val, 19, is being held in lieu of $100,00 bail. He is accused of attacking a man, 19, who suffered multiple stab wounds. He is listed in good condition at The Queen's Medical Center, police said. A 19-year-old woman, stabbed when she tried to assist the victim, is also in good condition.
