Family mourns Pearl Harbor shipyard worker killed in shooting by sailor

Family mourns Pearl Harbor shipyard worker killed in shooting by sailor. 'He will always be that easygoing, fun-loving, 'let's do this' man that will remain in our hearts,' the sister of Vincent Kapoi Jr. says.

A motive in the shooting, which occurred three days before the anniversary of the Dec. 7, 1941, Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor, was also unclear Thursday night.

"There are so many unanswered questions," Kapoi's sister said in the statement."We all have to be honest: It changes nothing, because we can't bring him back. What we do have to do, and we must do, is honor his memory, keep him alive in our hearts — and please keep him in your hearts, and always remember good times."

"No worker should have to go to work without the expectation of safely returning to their family and loved ones," the union said.
