GREAT BEND— Authorities have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in western Kansas as a 39-year-old Texas man.

Great Bend police say the man shot last Friday was Jeremy Saldana, of San Angelo, Texas.

An Ellsworth Correctional Facility employee is jailed on $1 million bond in the killing. The Barton County Sheriff’s Department arrest report indicates Freddie Thomas, 49, Lincoln, is being held on a charge of first degree murder. He was arrested on Saturday.

Saldana and the suspect knew each other and he was shot after an argument, according to police.

Ellsworth Correctional Facility spokesman Todd Britton says the suspect has been placed on administrative leave. The suspect worked at the prison entry and on perimeter watch, driving a vehicle.

Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities.
