The Wichita Police Department (WPD) has arrested Iman Foye, 18, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, on charges of aggravated robbery and criminal use of weapons. The arrest stems from the investigation into a shooting that occurred on February 10th, when officers responded to a shooting call at around 2:30 p.m., at 21st and Maize Rd.
Wichita Fire Department personnel were at the Dillon’s store at that location when they located an 18-year-old man, identified as Foye, with a gunshot wound. Foye directed them to another victim, a 21-year-old man, who was in the parking lot between two vehicles with multiple gunshot wounds.
Both Foye and the 21-year-old were transported to an area hospital with critical injuries.
Foye was released on the 13th and booked to the Sedgwick County Jail on the previously mentioned charges. The man, 21, remains hospitalized.
Investigators learned that shortly after 2:00 p.m. on the 10th, one of the involved vehicles backed into a parking stall on the East side of the parking lot. A man then exited the vehicle, removed something from the trunk, and then re-entered the car.
Later, the other vehicle backed into a stall next to the first one. Shortly after that, gunfire was exchanged between the two cars, and three men exited the cars. It was initially believed that three men fled into the neighborhood to the east, while one remained by the vehicles.
However, it has since been discovered that only two men fled into the neighborhood, and one man remained by the vehicles.
One of the men that fled into the neighborhood – Iman Foye – returned to the parking lot where he contacted Fire Department personnel. The other suspect involved has since been identified as a man, 28, and WPD is actively working to locate him.
The investigation is ongoing.
