Police identified the victim of Monday’s shooting as 26-year-old Sem Adrien, of Evanston, Ill. He was found critically wounded at a home near  8th and Plum late Monday and died later at a Hutchinson hospital.

Kansas State Fair General Manager Denny Stoecklein says Adrien helped set up the grandstand stage last week and his employment with the fair ended Friday.

Police records show that in the last month, Adrien has had four run-ins with Hutchinson police, including allegations of trespassing and public intoxication.
