The most recent edition of the Crime Stoppers television program, “Hawaii Island’s Most Wanted,” highlights a Kona man wanted for a stabbing, a Pahoa man wanted for auto theft, and a 40-year-old man wanted on an outstanding warrant.

The new episode begins airing today.

In it, police ask for the public’s help in locating 29-year-old Tommy Eugan Howard of Kona, who is wanted for a stabbing at White Sands Beach in Kona on May 22. Howard also goes by the names Casino, Tommy Washington and Cesar Waltz. He is described as African-American, 5-foot-7, 145 pounds with short black hair and brown eyes — but he might wear contact lenses that alter his eye color.

The television program also asks for help in locating a 20-year-old Pahoa man wanted for auto theft and other offenses. Vehicles were stolen from Pahoa on March 3 and from Hilo on May 25. Ronsten Andrade is described as 6-feet tall and 180 pounds. He frequents the lower Puna area. He is also wanted for allegedly entering a vacant home in Pahoa illegally and remaining there for an extended period of time, and for several traffic offenses — including reckless driving.

In this latest edition of “Hawaii Island’s Most Wanted,” Officer Patrick Menino also asks for information about a 40-year-old man wanted on an outstanding warrant. Sheldon Joaquin is wanted for violating terms of probation for an assault conviction. He is described as local, 5-foot-6, 150 pounds with a tan complexion. He is known to frequent the Hamakua and Waipio Valley areas.

Police ask that anyone with information about any of these cases call the Police Department’s non-emergency line at 935-3311 or Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona. All Crime Stoppers information is kept confidential. Crime Stoppers does not tape-record phone calls.

It was inspired by the national TV show, “America’s Most Wanted.” The program airs on Na Leo O Hawaii Community Television Channel 54 on Sundays at 5 p.m. and Fridays at 5:30 p.m. It also airs intermittently on Channel 53.
