A man wanted by Maui for police for questioning for robbery and other cases apparently fatally shot himself in a parked van in Lahaina yesterday, Maui County police said.
Police evacuated nearby residents and closed Ala Moana Road for several hours during a standoff that preceded the shooting.

The incident began at 12:20 p.m. when police officers approached the 44-year-old man, who was wanted for questioning for robbery, car theft and several violations of restraining orders. The man was in a van parked in front of the Lahaina Jodo Misison.
At one point police heard a shot fired inside the van. The area was secured and the police Special Response Team and negotiators were sent to the scene.
At 6:45 p.m., after attempts to talk to the man were unsuccessful, officers approached the van and found him dead. Police said it appears he died of a self-inflicted wound.
