SEDGWICK COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Sedgwick County are investigating the murder of a man on Sunday.

Just before 1:30 a.m. officers responded to what initially was a report of a drive by shooting in the 600 Block of North Edwards in Wichita, according to Wichita Police Lt. Jeff Gilmore during Monday’s online police briefing.

When paramedics arrived, they found the victim identified as Stanislaus V. Saiz 57, slumped over the wheel of a car. They believed it was an automobile accident but ultimately found Saiz suffered from multiple gunshot wounds.

Police determined Saiz was sitting in his vehicle at a residence in the 600 Block of North Edwards when someone walked up and shot multiple times into the vehicle.

In an effort to get away, Saiz drove north and crashing into a building at 2622 West Central.

Saiz had numerous convictions for burglary, aggravated robbery, identity theft and forgery in Sedgwick County, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
