Police have announced an arrest in the drive-by shooting death of a Wichita man earlier this week.

21-year-old Jesus Manzano-Legarda was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Jacquez Carter.

Investigators have said Carter was shot and killed late Wednesday afternoon as he sat inside his vehicle at Harry & Topeka. Police believe Carter was shot by a passenger in a white sport utility vehicle that pulled up beside his car. Carter was shot several times; he sped away, then crashed into a utility pole a few blocks away at Harry & Washington, and died inside his vehicle.

Police have said they believe the shooting was not a random incident.
