On March 10, 2024, a familicide occurred in Manoa, Hawaii, a neighborhood of Honolulu. Paris Oda (46) murdered his wife Naoko (48) and their three children, Sakurako (17), Orion (12), and Nana (10) before killing himself in a murder-suicide. Oda used a kitchen knife to fatally stab himself and his family. It is Hawaii's deadliest mass killing since the Xerox murders in 1999.
Police first received an anonymous call at 8:30 am regarding an argument within the home. Officers were sent to the home at 8:34 am, and knocked on the door but received no response and did not notice any disturbance. The same caller later called again and police returned to the house at 9:15 am and met the caller, a tenant who lived inside the house. They soon discovered the bodies.
Paris was under severe financial trouble in 2023, and in February of 2024, he revealed to his wife that he had not paid taxes in years, while telling relatives that he would rather die than go to prison for unpaid taxes. He also said that “he wanted to kill his family and burn the house down.” He had texted his wife in February that they needed a plan to "do it" and take his children with them because he believed no one could take better care of them than himself. Paris unsuccessfully attempted to purchase a firearm in March. He did not have any history of violence.
