Honolulu police arrested a 49-year-old man Friday night on suspicion of attempted murder for allegedly shooting a 41-year-old man in the stomach earlier that day in Maili.

At about 1:50 a.m. the two men, who know one another, had an argument over tent space that ended in gunfire, police said. "The victim was shot multiple times by the suspect," according to a summary from detectives with the Honolulu Police Department's homicide detail.

The suspect fled on foot but was seen entering a blue Chevy truck and leaving the scene.
