Prosecutors yesterday charged a 30-year-old man in connection with a shooting incident Monday night in Waipahu.

Bronson Keola Gouveia, who listed no local address at booking, is accused of attempted second-degree murder, first-degree reckless endangering and two firearm offenses. Bail is $250,000 pending an initial appearance tomorrow at District Court.

Gouveia has five felony convictions — four for auto theft and one for second-degree theft — among his 12 criminal convictions since March 1997.

Gouveia was with his girlfriend when arrested by Crime Reduction Unit officers from the Wahiawa District Wednesday at 815 Kokoloea Place at 12:45 p.m. CRU officers from Wahiawa, Kapolei and Pearl City had surrounded the Schofield Sands residence but a potential barricade situation was avoided when Gouveia surrendered.

Police located Gouveia through his 2003 black Dodge Durango parked at the arrest scene.

During a search following his arrest, police allegedly found a glass pipe with possible crystal meth residue. Additional counts of third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug and possession of drug paraphernalia and three traffic-related offenses — resisting an order to stop, reckless driving, and driving without a license — were added later.

Monday's 10:30 p.m. shooting incident fronting a Village Park residence on Kalae Street is connected to a "love triangle type relationship" involving Gouveia, his girlfriend and her former boyfriend, according to a police affidavit filed at District Court.

The ex-boyfriend, 33, was seated in his pickup truck talking to a woman resident of the Kalae Street home when Gouveia approached them and twice challenged the victim to fight. The victim refused and began driving away, the affidavit said.

Gouveia allegedly took out a pistol, stood in the middle of the street and fired two shots at the departing truck before running forward and firing four more shots, the affidavit stated. The truck sustained damage to its rear window. The driver was not injured.

Gouveia fled the scene and police had been looking for him the past two days.
