Dwayne Cory Wallace Jr., 26, of Puna is in police custody and is being held in the police cellblock.

He was arrested today at 2:30 pm in Orchidland, according to police. No one was injured during the apprehension.

Wallace Jr. was the subject of an all-points bulletin for allegedly shooting 26-year-old Peter Cyrus Grammer of Mountain View on Tuesday.

The shooting took place “in the middle of North Kulani Road, maybe 50, 60 yards in from Highway 11,” police said earlier this week.

An autopsy determined Grammar died of a gunshot wound to the chest, and the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy ruled the manner of death is homicide, police said.

Wallace has convictions for 15 offenses dating back to 2013, including a felony domestic abuse conviction in 2015. He’s also been convicted of misdemeanor theft and resisting arrest, as well as two probation violations.
