PAIA (AP) — A surfer died over the weekend after being injured in a shark encounter at Paia Bay, according to the Maui Police Department.

The victim was identified as Jason Carter, 39, of Haiku, according to MPD on Monday.

At approximately 11:19 a.m. Saturday, Maui police responded to the beach area of 93 Hana Highway in Paia regarding a miscellaneous type incident.

Ocean Safety Officers grabbed and transported the man by jet ski to shore, where responders performed life-saving measures until medical personnel arrived and took the victim to Maui Memorial Medical Center for further treatment. He later died from his injuries.

The man’s identity was not immediately released pending the notification of extended family and friends. Authorities stopped short of calling the event an attack and didn’t describe the victim’s injuries.
