An O'ahu grand jury today indicted Patrick W. Deguair Jr. on a second-degree murder charge in the shooting death of Jermaine Michael Duckworth in Wai'anae.

Deguair, 30, is being held at the O'ahu Community Correctional Center in lieu of $1 million bail, but an arrest warrant has been issued as formality of the indictment. Five of the seven indictment counts are related to the Duckworth shooting while two other counts stem from a drug raid Thursday at the Pagoda Hotel, when Deguair was arrested for third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug and possession of drug paraphernalia.

He will be arraigned at a yet-to-be determined date at which time his attorney Michael Green said Deguair will enter a not-guilty plea.

"I don't think there's any physical evidence linking him (to a murder) ... just people accusing him of something," Green said. "And those people have their own motives."

Duckworth, 24, died from a gunshot wound to the head. His body was found March 27 below a cliff at Keawa'ula (Yokohama Bay).

The same indictment also charged Aryss D.K. Kamai with being a felon in possession of ammunition, third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug (methamphetamine) and paraphernalia. Kamai was arrested with Deguair on Thursday.
