WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Sedgwick County authorities have charged a man in the death of a Wichita restaurant owner.

KSN-TV reports that Curtis Mitchell was charged Tuesday with one count of first-degree murder in the death last week of 45-year-old Tanya Tandoc.

Mitchell appeared Tuesday in Sedgwick County court before Judge Joe Kisner, who read Mitchell the charge and advised him to get a lawyer before entering a plea. The judge said Mitchell’s bond is $500,000.

Tandoc, owner of Tanya’s Soup Kitchen, was found dead in the basement of her home last Thursday night.
