A 22-year-old Hawai'i Kai woman charged with kidnapping and armed robbery set up a drug-related heist that ended in the slaying of a North Hollywood, Calif., man in Kane'ohe last year, according to a police affidavit filed at District Court.

Rihanna Joy Valentino (whose legal name was Melissa Ordonez last May 14 when Benjamin Grajeda was kidnapped and gunned down on Kane'ohe Bay Drive) is accused of conspiring with Jerrico Dewon Lindsey and Charles Lee Freeman Jr. to rob Grajeda of money and drugs he kept in his home at 44-101B Pu'uohalai Place.

Valentino, who was charged Friday, was being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the main police station cellblock pending her initial appearance today in District Court.

Lindsey, the accused shooter, and Freeman, the accused getaway driver, await trial. Lindsey is charged with second-degree murder, terroristic threatening and firearm offenses, while Freeman is charged with kidnapping and hindering prosecution.

A third man remains at large.

The police report describes a double cross.

The affidavit, written by homicide Detective Kenneth Higa, says Valentino met with Lindsey, Freeman and the third man the weekend before the killing and showed them where Grajeda dealt drugs and parked his sport utility vehicle. She also told Lindsey about the large sum of money and drugs Grajeda kept in the house and agreed to help them with the robbery, the document said.

On May 14, Valentino called Lindsey while Grajeda was showering and told him she was going to send Grajeda to the store and they could come to the apartment after he left. The trio searched the apartment but found nothing, and Grajeda returned while they were there, the affidavit said.

Lindsey and Grajeda started fighting, and the other two men jumped in, beating Grajeda unconscious, the document said. Valentino ignored Grajeda's pleas for help while standing watch near the door and said repeatedly, "hurry up, make him be quiet, people might hear," the report said.

The document said Freeman taped Grajeda's mouth shut and the three men put him in the trunk of their car. Grajeda managed to open the trunk and was shot while trying to escape.

Valentino was the last person alone in Grajeda's apartment and the last person to leave, the document said. The large sum of money and drugs that were supposed to be in Grajeda's apartment was never found.

After the shooting, Valentino left Grajeda's apartment and caught a cab to a fast-food restaurant, where she gave the cabbie a large amount of cash and told him "to forget that he saw her," the affidavit said.

Valentino then called another man and asked him to pick her up and drive her to her Honolulu apartment.

From the apartment, she called police four hours later and reported masked men had kidnapped Grajeda. She later changed her story and identified Lindsey, Freeman and the third man as the ones who beat Grajeda to steal his drugs and money, the document said.
