In the last maybe 10 years, there have been 3 scary local cases all linked to Schizophrenia:

"A Honolulu grand jury indicted 25-year-old Tittleman Fauateaon on one count of second-degree murder in the fatal stabbing of Asa Yamashita.

According to court documents, Fauatea bought a foot-long kitchen knife at the Longs store at the Ewa Town Center, walked off without his change and then repeatedly stabbed Asa Yamashita.

KITV has learned Fauatea is a diagnosed schizophrenic. He was found mentally unfit for trial last year after a trespassing arrest. (Read more about his past in an exclusive KITV report.)"

"HONOLULU -- Court records show a 23-year-old man being held in connection with a triple murder in Honolulu had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He was also put under the court-ordered guardianship of his mother and a caretaker less than a month ago.

In the petition seeking guardianship, Adam Mau-Goffredo was described as "incapacitated."
Honolulu police charged Mau-Goffredo with killing three people at the Tantalus lookout, an act they called "senseless and heinous.""
