A 32-year-old Wichita man who stabbed a woman in a random attack in the northeast part of town has been sentenced to more than 24 years in prison.

Wade Dunn has been sentenced for attempted second-degree murder and aggravated battery.

Police say Dunn stabbed a 28-year-old woman about 30 times as she was loading laundry into her car with her baby alone inside her house; it happened in September of 2019 at 17th Doreen, to the south of 21st & Rock.

Dunn did not know the woman; she survived, and the child was not injured.

Authorities say Dunn had escaped from the Mirror Residential Reentry Center hours before the attack. Dunn testified at his trial that he was high on K2 and meth at the time of the attack.
