The man who said he was the getaway driver in last week’s killing of a South Korean tourist explained that the crime was preceded by a $100 gambling loss, according to a magistrate’s complaint filed in Superior Court.

After Stefan Keanu Camacho, 26, and Keoki Santos, 28, borrowed and lost the money, they decided to “snatch someone’s purse” and “drove around the Tumon area looking for a tourist to rob,” according to the complaint.

Camacho told police he warned Santos not to shoot anyone if they committed a robbery.

Driving from the Beach Bar, they found Hea Jun Hwang, 60, and his wife walking back from Tao Tao Tasi show.

Camacho told police Santos pointed a gun at the woman and demanded her purse. After a struggle between Hwang and Santos, the gun went off, killing Hwang.

Camacho and Santos each took $75 from the robbery, and they discarded the purse, bank cards and other items when they were driving, according to the complaint.

Camacho later led investigators to the discarded items.

After the shooting, Camacho spray-painted his vehicle rims to throw off investigators, but a tip and surveillance footage led police to Camacho and Santos, who were both from Yona.

Camacho was located in a game room, and when police approached Santos while he was inside a parked vehicle in Yona, he shot and killed himself.

Santos was attending drug court for a 2021 methamphetamine case, according to court documents, but Camacho has no previous convictions listed.

Facing life sentence

Camacho was charged Thursday with complicity to commit murder and complicity to commit robbery, both as first-degree felonies with a special allegation of vulnerable victim enhancement, and theft of property and destroying evidence as misdemeanors.

He is facing a sentence of life in prison plus 77 years if convicted, according to charging documents.

Guam vacation

The Korean couple was vacationing on Guam to celebrate their retirement.

On the night of Jan. 4, an SUV approached them from behind while they were walking from Gun Beach to The Tsubaki Tower hotel. A passenger exited the vehicle brandishing a firearm, and demanded the couple’s belongings. A struggle ensued and the husband was shot in the stomach. He died at the Guam Regional Medical City Friday morning.

An autopsy was performed Friday, and the chief medical examiner, Dr. Jeffrey Nine, determined that the death was homicide and that Hwang died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Nine told police he believes the fatal injury was caused by a 9mm bullet.

According to the complaint, police found a 9mm bullet where Hwang was shot, and police determined it could be fired from a 9mmBeretta handgun.

Police found a silver 9mmBeretta handgun with Santos the night he was located in Yona on Jan. 9. Police earlier said Santos died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot.

Acting Gov. Joshua Tenorio on Wednesday said “justice will prevail” in the fatal shooting of the tourist.

“In these moments of grief, we extend our deepest condolences to the surviving spouse, who now bears an unimaginable burden of loss. Our hearts ache for her and their loved ones, and we stand united in offering them solace and support,” Tenorio said.
