SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal shooting and have a suspect in custody.

Just before 1 a.m. Saturday, police responded to the report of a shooting at Pawnee and Cardington in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.

Upon arrival officers located a 31-year-old man in the street who had two gunshot wounds to his leg.

The victim directed officers to a residence in the 2200 block of south Parkridge.

When officers arrived at the house they observed a 21-year-old man exit the home armed with a handgun. Officers took the suspect into custody without incident. When officers entered the residence, they located a 44-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds, and a 38-year-old woman who was uninjured. The 31-year-old man was taken to an area hospital for medical treatment.

The 44-year-old man was pronounced dead.

Officers booked the 21-year-old suspect into jail for first degree murder, aggravated battery firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

This was not a random act, according to Davidson.
