A tragic incident occurred at a Maui resort involving a former college swimmer from California. Legend Storer, 20, faces charges following the death of security guard Michael “Mike” Dyer, 63. Authorities have charged him with second-degree murder, first-degree burglary with a dangerous instrument, and indecent exposure.
Incident Overview
The events began shortly before 2 a.m. when surveillance footage captured a naked man approaching Dyer’s office at a Lahaina condominium resort. This man, later identified as Storer, allegedly attacked Dyer. Soon after, around 3 a.m., police received reports of a nude man in a nearby neighborhood.
Officers located Storer by 3:35 a.m., noting he had several abrasions. They transported him to Maui Memorial Medical Center for evaluation. At 5:31 a.m., police discovered Dyer unresponsive at the resort, where he was later pronounced dead.
Legal Proceedings
Storer pleaded not guilty to the charges, with the written complaint filed on August 7. During the initial court appearance, prosecutors requested Storer remain held without bail. The court denied his attorney’s request for nominal bail.
Background Information
Storer previously swam with Concordia University Irvine’s men’s team in California. He attended Maui Preparatory Academy, where he was twice a Maui Interscholastic League winner.
The court has yet to disclose full details due to policies restricting the release of identifying information for arrested individuals. However, court records list Storer as the charged suspect.
Ongoing Investigation
Maui Police continue to investigate the case. Authorities ask for any relevant information or tips regarding the incident.
Dyer worked the graveyard shift as security at Sands of Kahana, where he was murdered. Friends and family organized a GoFundMe for his wife, Joy, highlighting the couple’s 26-year marriage.
