WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 27-year-old man has been charged in the death of a Wichita woman.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Dane Thomas Owens is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in connection with the shooting death of 22-year-old Rowena Irani. He’s also charged with aggravated burglary.

Owens made a first appearance in Sedgwick County District Court on the felony charges, and is being held on $500,000 bond. His next court date is Oct. 20. It’s unclear if he has a lawyer.

Authorities say Irani was found unconscious Monday with a gunshot wound to her head. She died later at a hospital.
