A ‘wanted’ poster for suspect in death of woman near Peck

The Wichita Eagle

The wanted poster looks like something straight out of the Wild West — but the crime it mentions is quite recent.

The Sedgwick County Sheriff on Tuesday posted the announcement on Twitter with the words WANTED and MURDER in large, bold letters. Authorities are still searching for Darnell D. Coleman, who is suspected of killing Tamsen R. Kayzer on Oct. 30.

Kayzer’s body was found in the 10800 block of South Meridian, near Peck, in rural Sedgwick County.

A passerby found the body of Kayzer, 40, near the train tracks, authorities have said. Deputies responding to the scene noticed trauma on Kayzer’s body.

Coleman, 40, has since been identified as the suspect in Kayzer’s death. He is 6-feet-1, weights 190 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes. He has a “DC” tattoo on his right shoulder and “1900” on the top of his left forearm.

Anyone with information about Coleman’s location is being asked to call 911, the Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office at 316-660-5300 or Crime Stoppers of Wichita/Sedgwick County at 316-267-2111.
