Advertiser Staff Writer

A 22-year-old Hawai'i Kai woman arrested Thursday is facing first-degree kidnapping and robbery charges in connection with a fatal shooting last year in Kane'ohe.

The woman was arrested at the federal building at 2:15 p.m.

She is suspected of being a co-conspirator in the fatal shooting of Benjamin Grajeda of North Hollywood, Calif., a kidnap victim who was gunned down on Kane'ohe Bay Drive near Moakaka Place in May 2007.

Jerrico Dewon Lindsey, the accused shooter, and Charles Lee Freeman Jr., the alleged driver of the getaway car, are awaiting trial in the Grajeda case. Lindsey is charged with second-degree murder, first-degree terroristic threatening, and five firearm offenses. Freeman is charged with kidnapping and hindering prosecution.
