Police:  Arrest made in Wichita assault, firearm case

-

The Wichita Police Department (WPD) has arrested Charles Henderson II, 26, of Wichita on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and an outstanding warrant.

At approximately 6:10 p.m. on Wednesday, officers responded to a drive-by shooting in the 2500 block of East 18th Street.  Officers located shell casings and heard a disturbance nearby in the 1800 block of North Green where they contacted multiple individuals.


The investigation revealed a physical disturbance occurred between multiple individuals on 18th street.  During the disturbance, a suspect fired a shot into the air, and Henderson fired shots into a white Pontiac G6, striking and injuring a girl, 15, in the vehicle.  The teen was taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

After individuals fled the scene on 18th street, they began to gather again on Green, where a disturbance began before police arrived.  Henderson was contacted on Green Street and arrested without further incident. The shooting was not a random incident and involved an online dispute between individuals known to each other.

The case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.
