The Kailua man who was fatally shot in his home Monday night had sought a court order against the suspect, saying that the suspect had struck him in the face.

Lawyer Craig Kimsel, who was shot in his Oneawa Street home, had filed for a temporary restraining order in January, but it was not served against Daniel Kahanaoi because Kahanaoi could not be located, the records show.

Kahanaoi remained at police headquarters yesterday, held on suspicion of second-degree murder. Charges were pending.

Police said the suspect went to Kimsel's home at 454 Oneawa St. shortly before 9:30 p.m. Monday to look for an acquaintance. The suspect refused to leave when asked to and then shot Kimsel, police said.

Kimsel, 47, was taken to an area hospital, where he died. The Honolulu Medical Examiner's office has determined that he died of blood loss and a gunshot to the torso.

The alleged attack that prompted the restraining order occurred on Jan. 14 at 10:45 p.m. Kahanaoi allegedly pulled his vehicle up in front of Kimsel's home, blocking the road. As Kimsel was opening the gate to his driveway, Kahanaoi confronted him and "without warning or provocation" struck Kimsel in the face, the records allege.

Kahanaoi fled and Kimsel reported the attack to the police.

Later, according to the court records, Kahanaoi left messages on Kimsel's voice mail. Kahanaoi allegedly left messages taunting Kimsel to meet "to settle the matter," according to the court documents; they do not specify what the dispute was about.

A woman who had a relationship with Kahanaoi also filed for a restraining order against him last month.

Rusty Anoba alleged in court documents that Kahanaoi shook her violently and pushed her to the ground after she told him she wanted to leave him.

"I believe he was responsible for killing my dog," Anoba said in her request for a restraining order.

Anoba listed a second attack, which she said occurred on March 17 of this year, the same day she filed for the restraining order.

She said that she told Kahanaoi she wanted to leave and he grabbed her hair and threw her against the wall.

"I fell to the ground. He picked me up by my hair and shoved me outside the door," Anoba wrote in her request.

In another section of the application, Anoba said Kahanaoi may own or possess a firearm.

"I have seen a black gun under the seat of his Silver BMW when I drove it," Anoba wrote in the application.
