Wichita, KS, July 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- After a man was shot in north Wichita, investigators used Flock LPR technology to locate both the suspect vehicle and the suspect. He was arrested and later charged with attempted second-degree murder.
Wichita Police Department officers were called to the 2300 block of North Jackson on June 16, 2026, where they found a 51-year-old man with a single gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition but is expected to recover.
Working from the scene, investigators identified a vehicle they believed was connected to the shooting. Using Flock license plate reader technology, detectives tracked the vehicle and located a 31-year-old man who was taken into custody shortly thereafter.
The suspect was brought before a Sedgwick County judge on June 23, 2026, and charged with attempted second-degree murder and aggravated battery. He remains held in the Sedgwick County Jail on a $250,000 bond, with a court date set for July 6.
