Hawai‘i Island police are continuing their search for 41-year-old Jason Anthony Magdaleno, who is considered armed and dangerous. He is wanted on two outstanding arrest warrants for summons or arrest on probation with bail totaling $10,000.

On Friday morning, May 1, 2026, members of the department’s Area I Criminal Investigation Division and Vice Division, assisted by the Special Response Team (SRT), executed a search warrant at a property on Plumeria Street in the Fern Acres subdivision in Mountain View where Magdaleno was believed to be present.
