Naked man accused of beating security guard to death at condo complex identified as champion swimmer

LAHAINA (KHNL/Gray News) - A security guard has died in Hawaii, and a 20-year-old champion swimmer has been arrested for murder.

Maui police said officers responded to the Sands of Kahana condominium complex at around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, where they found the body of a 63-year-old man.

Authorities identified the man as Michael Dyer of Lahaina. They said he was working as a security guard at the complex when he was attacked in his office overnight.

Legend Storer was charged Thursday in the death of Dyer. His charges include second-degree murder, first-degree burglary and indecent exposure.

Police said surveillance video from that early morning showed a naked man, later identified as Storer, attacking Dyer at about 1:45 a.m.

Those who knew the security guard expressed shock over the violence.

Co-worker Bell Hill said Dyer was married with children, and was simply having lunch when the attack occurred.

“He was a great person. He was just in his office having a cheeseburger on his lunch break. His whole family lost him. It’s horrible,” Hill said.

Police said officers found Storer wandering in the area naked with numerous abrasions on him around 3:30 a.m. He was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for an evaluation.

Storer was listed as a freshman on Concordia University Irvine’s 2024-25 men’s swim and dive roster.

According to the university, he graduated from Maui Preparatory Academy in 2024, where he was a two-time Maui Interscholastic League champion.

Kahana residents said the attack has left them feeling uneasy.
