(AP) – Wichita police say two separate shootings that left one man dead and another critically injured apparently are related.

Police say the first shooting happened Thursday night in downtown Wichita. A 30-year-old man who was found lying near a home died at a hospital.

The second shooting was reported a short time later in southeast Wichita. Police say a man in his 20’s was taken to Wesley Medical Center in critical condition.

A police spokesman says at least three men are being sought in connection with the fatal shooting.
