Police are investigating a shooting that injured a 17-year-old boy from Wichita during the commission of a robbery.

Late Monday afternoon, officers were called to the 200 block of N. Rock Road for a shooting. Witnesses informed the officers they'd seen a male with a gunshot wound to one of his legs leaving the scene in a black vehicle.


During the investigation, 9-1-1 dispatch made the officers aware of a walk-in victim at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his lower body. The victim matched the description given to the officers by witnesses. The victim had driven himself to the hospital. The victim was treated at the hospital and released on Monday.

The victim spoke with officers, and investigators were able to determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting; investigators believe this was not a random incident.

If anyone has any information on this case, call police detectives at 316-268-4407, the See Something Say Something hotline at 316-519-2282, or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
