A 19-year-old man accused of killing two people at a Wichita Dollar General store could face the death penalty, after being charged with capital murder.

Marquis Marshall was charged Wednesday in the killing of 22-year-old Zachary Hunt, a store employee, and 79-year-old Henry Harvey, who was at the store to buy candy for his grandchildren. Police say both men were shot several times last Friday.

Police have not discussed a possible motive for the shootings.

Marshall’s bond was increased to $5 million from $1 million.

The Wichita Eagle reports an attorney from the Death Penalty Defense Unit declined to comment after the hearing.

The case qualifies as a possible death penalty case because more than one person died in the attack last Friday.

Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo is preparing to discuss the economic consequences of failing to reach a deal on the federal budget and taxes to avoid the fiscal cliff.

The conservative Wichita Republican is planning a Thursday telephone conference call with reporters about negotiations between Congress and President Barack Obama.

Taxes will automatically rise and spending cuts will be imposed without a deal by the end of the year. Many officials and economists worry the economy will suffer.

Pompeo’s comments also will come after U.S. House Speaker John Boehner removed fellow Kansan and conservative GOP congressman Tim Huelskamp of Fowler from the House Budget and Agriculture committees.

Boehner’s spokesman has cited “a range of factors,” but Huelskamp believes he’s being punished for bucking GOP leaders.
