HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu police are investigating a man discovered in his home in a pool of blood as a murder.

Hawaii News Now reports (http://bit.ly/1IfoL2z ) that 65-year-old William “Bill” Aki was found just after midnight Wednesday morning by his daughter Leimomi. He has a hole near his right shoulder, which police not sure is from a bullet or a stab wound.

Police initially came to Aki’s home after they traced the registration of his car to a vehicle fire that was reported in front of Makua Cave in Waianae on Farrington Highway Tuesday night.

HPD Homicide Division’s Lt. Walter Calistro says police discovered the body of a male in his 60’s with suspicious injuries. Police reclassified the case from an unattended death to a second-degree murder investigation.
