Son shot and father held in 'messy' killing


Surprised neighbors say family members seemed to be happy


WAILUKU - When six or seven gunshots shattered the late-evening peace of a Kahului suburb Tuesday, the neighbors reacted with alarm.

But the news that a father had killed his son proved no more shocking than the apparent motive: The teenager was untidy.

'It was an ongoing housekeeping issue,' said police Lt. John Jakubszak.

Joe D. Antonio, who works in the press department at The Maui News, was being held on suspicion of second-degree murder in the killing of his son Jose, 19, a 2007 Maui High School graduate. Police said he admitted to the shooting. A .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun was found at the scene.

Antonio's initial court appearance was scheduled for this afternoon."
