SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal altercation and have identified the victim.

Just after 2 a.m. Sunday, police were contacted outside the Patrol North Police Station in Wichita by a 45-year-old man who stated a 46-year-old man was injured at a home in the 2300 block of north Chautauqua and needed help, according to officer Charley Davidson.

Officers located the victim identified as Desmond Winesberry with trauma to his body and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Captain Brent Allred.  An investigation determined there was a verbal and physical altercation inside the residence, according to Allred and police do not believe this is a random incident.
