Wichita Police are investigating a fatal shooting of a 17-year-old Wichita boy and the fatal hit and run of a 15-year-old Wichita girl.
Around 11:20 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a shooting at The Banquet Hall in the 3100 block of East 25th Street. When they arrived, they found Boisy D. Barefield inside with a gunshot wound. He was transported to an area hospital but died from his injuries.
Police say there was a large graduation party at the venue when a disturbance ensued between two groups of people. Shots were fired and Barefield was struck.
A 15-year-old girl was fleeing the scene when she was hit by a car at the intersection of 25th Street North and Estelle. Samara Rockmore, 18, fled the scene but was later located, arrested and booked for felony hit and run.
The 15-year-old victim later died at an area hospital.
The investigation continues in the case but Police say a lack of cooperation has made the investigation difficult. They add that the incident is not random.
