This is a potential self-defense shooting on the Big Island where a person visited a residence and threatened and assaulted people with a knife and broken bottle.  The resident responded by shooting him and was arrested for attempted murder.

Light on the details but what seems like self-defense is the owner wasn't a prohibited person by court records, wasn't charged with the usual firearms offenses, it was his residence, and witnesses say the "victim" assaulted people.

On Sunday, Big Island Prosecutors and detectives with the Area I Criminal Investigation
Section discussed the case before charging Trubachev with second-degree attempted
murder and carrying or use of a firearm in the commission of a separate felony.

The obvious question to me is;  What's the "separate felony?" 

Drug deal?

Chicken fighting?

Failure to treat his attacker with the Aloha Spirit?

It's for shooting a firearm during an attempted murder.  It's tacked on whenever a firearm is used in a felony.

HRS 134-21

The use of the gun WAS the attempted murder if I'm reading the story right.  Those are not separate felonies -- they are the same event.

Doesn't make sense to me.

It's always been done that way.  For murders, robbery, etc.

This is for the Aiea shooting this year, which may have also been a possible self-defense at their residence when an "acquaintances" visited the home.  Though not sure how he got hit with a place to keep charge.  And he got hit with a $2 million bail, hard to pay for the $200,000 bail bond without insurance.  And using a public defender.

Different acts and circumstances.

Rodurigues allegedy shot Owens on a residential street in Aiea March 13.

Witnesses told police Owens went to Rodrigues’ house to collect a debt.

The two began to argue which ended with the alleged shooting death of Owens.

I can see how they want to charge the carry/use of a firearm as an enhancement to any felony, such as armed robbery with a baseball bat vs. armed robbery with a gun.  But to classify the murder by firearm as a separate crime is poor wording.  Should be in conjunction with a felony, not commission of a separate felony.

Lawyers writing bad laws.

I see in the court case info you posted the charge in question says "UNKNOWN OFFENSE HRS 134-21...".  That seems kind of fishy, too.

More info on the shooting.  Hope they release the video

According to court records, the victim is a family friend who came to Trubachev’s home and allegedly threatened his mother.

Police said the home’s surveillance camera then captured video of Trubachev firing a gun at him.

Those "details" aren't enough to paint a full picture for me.

Like you said, the video may fill in some holes.
