Police believe they have found the suspect in a Wichita murder; the 26-year-old man was found in Texas.
The victim, 24-year-old Brittnee Wicker, was found shot to death in a home Sunday evening in the 2300 block of S. Belmont (east of George Washington Blvd. & Pawnee).
Wichita police investigators believe she was likely killed during an act of domestic violence. On Tuesday, the detectives presented evidence to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office.
Then, police began working with other law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, discovering the suspect was possibly in Texas.
Police coordinated with partners in Texas, particularly the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, and the man was arrested in Brownsville; authorities are working to extradite him to Wichita.
Police say if you're someone dealing with domestic abuse and violence, contact someone you trust or call 911 immediately.
