Police have completed their investigation of a 2013 Hilo murder.

In response to a 5:19 a.m. call on Jan. 7, 2013, officers found Lloyd Rubio, 38, Hilo, with a stab wound at a home on the 1400 block of Kaumana Drive. He was taken to Hilo Medical Center, where he died at 7:11 a.m, police said in a press release.

That evening, detectives arrested Cherie Sueko Moskwa, 37, Hilo, on suspicion of second-degree murder.

Two days later, after conferring with Hawaii County prosecutors, detectives released Moskwa from police custody pending further investigation.

Additional follow-ups and analysis were recently completed. The case was sent to the prosecuting attorney’s office for review.
