SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects in connection with a murder following a chase and crash that caused power outage.
Police working on information that an alleged murder suspect was at a home in the 3300 Block of North Jackson, according to officer Charley Davidson. Officers observed the suspect leave the residence and get into a blue Acura. When officers attempted a traffic stop, the driver refused. At one point, according to Davidson, the driver stopped and allowed a woman passenger out of the car.
The driver continued to flee east on 24th Street when the car hit a northbound Mitsubishi driven by a 27-year-old woman on Market Street, according to Davidson. The crash then toppled a power pole that left 1,500 Westar Customers without electricity.
Police took the 18-year-old suspect and the woman passenger into custody. He is going to be jailed for alleged first-degree murder, in connection with the July shooting death of 19-year-old Timothy Golden, according to Davidson.
Golden was found dead inside an apartment building after more than a dozen rounds were fired into his apartment, according to police. Two other suspects are already in custody.
