Do you know who murdered Donny Gouveia? Donny Gouveia, a 19-year-old Hispanic/Latino male, died in Honolulu, Hawaii, on November 4, 1991, after what police described as an assault. By the time morning arrived at Magic Island—along the shoreline near Ala Moana—someone discovered him gravely injured, and he did not survive. 
The night before, he had been at the Ala Moana Shopping Center, captured on ATM video during a transaction.
In that footage, an unknown person can be seen standing close behind him—positioned in a way that investigators later suggested looked like someone waiting for the right moment. The image became one of the case's most haunting artifacts: a silent snapshot of ordinary seconds, now loaded with the dread of what came after. 
Investigators also released a sketch tied to another person of interest—someone reportedly seen in Ala Moana Park that same night—hinting that the hours between the ATM and the shoreline may have included more than one encounter. Even with those leads made public, the identity of the person behind him at the machine, and the connection—if any—between that figure and the second person of interest have remained unresolved in the official public record. 
Years later, the case was described publicly as still unsolved, with renewed attention focused on identifying the individual seen near him in the ATM imagery. Accounts circulating with the case's later coverage emphasize that the effort to name that person was part of a push to re-energize the investigation and finally learn what happened in the final stretch of the night. 
No publicly available police summary of the case indicates an arrest, named suspect, filed charge, or conviction connected to his death; instead, the open questions persist, anchored to the same critical visuals and the same unanswered gap between a public place at night and a body found at the water's edge by morning.
