A 17-year-old has been arrested and police are looking for two other suspects in the shooting death of a 14-year-old in Wichita during a drug deal gone bad.
Police were called after Jesus Fernandez, 14, and a 15-year-old boy arrived around 1 p.m. Friday at a Wichita hospital with gunshot wounds, Wichita Police Chief Gordon Ramsay said. Fernandez died and the 15-year-old was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
Ramsay said the investigation revealed that the 17-year-old set up the drug deal at Schell Park and asked the 15-year-old for a ride. Ramsay said Fernandez was riding along with the 15-year-old and was wounded when gunfire erupted during the drug deal.
