A man had died after he was shot at a west Wichita motel. It happened just after 5:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in the 5700 block of W. Kellogg Drive.
Officers responded to a disturbance call with shots fired. They found a man in his 50's with a gunshot wound to the chest. Officers began providing life-saving efforts until EMS arrived. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.
The investigation revealed that the victim had a verbal altercation with a male suspect. That argument turned physical at which point the male suspect started shooting and striking the victim once.
Investigators are still working to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting and the relationship between the victim and the suspect. So far the victim has only been identified as a 50-year-old male from Santa Cruz, CA.
