Wichita police have made an arrest in connection to the death of a 34-year-old man on Monday in the Interdale Apartments at 916 N. Broadway, Lt. Todd Ojile said.

Matthew McDaniel, 22, was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder.

According to police, the victim, Ronald Wilson, was at his apartment with three men, including McDaniel and the man who reported the murder.

McDaniel pulled out a gun and fired shots that killed the victim, police said.

Ojile said the caller made up a kidnapping story because he was scared at the time.

Police suspect robbery was the motive behind the killing, and the robbery may have been drug-related.
