A 20-year-old swimmer from Concordia University Irvine was arrested on Thursday and charged in a Maui case that now includes second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and indecent exposure.
Police said Legend Storer, who was a member of Concordia University Irvine’s NCAA Division II swim team during the 2024 to 2025 academic school year, was taken into custody after a series of calls that began in the early morning hours on Maui’s west coast.
What police said happened
According to the Maui Police Department, at 1:45 a.m. on Thursday the naked 20-year-old man approached Michael Dyer’s office and assaulted him before fleeing on foot. Around 3 a.m., police received calls about a 20-year-old nude man wandering the streets of the Kahana neighborhood.
Roughly 30 minutes later, police apprehended the man and took him to Maui Memorial Medical Center for evaluation. The Maui Police Department said he was still unclothed and had sustained numerous abrasions.
At about 5:35 a.m., police responded to a call about Michael Dyer being found unresponsive, and medical personnel said he had died at the scene. The press release did not specify the nature of Dyer’s injuries.
Why the case matters
The arrest ties a college athlete to a homicide investigation in Hawaii, with prosecutors now alleging a violent sequence that ended in the death of a 63-year-old security guard. For Concordia University Irvine, the case places one of its swimmers at the center of a serious criminal matter that could develop over a long period of time.
As with other high-profile off-field cases involving athletes, the immediate facts matter most: who was involved, what charges were filed, and what police say happened before the arrest. The NCAA Division II connection adds another layer of attention, even as the criminal case itself moves forward.
