Man shot to death near Kellogg and Woodlawn

One person died Monday afternoon following a shooting near Kellogg and Woodlawn.

Wichita police responded to a gray house in the 6200 block of East Orme where a shooting was reported at 1:14 p.m, a Sedgwick County dispatcher said.

An 18-year-old Wichita man died, said Charley Davidson, a spokesman for the Wichita Police Department.

“Officers were dispatched to a shooting and upon arriving, they observed a vehicle,” Davidson said. “Inside this vehicle was an 18-year-old male who had a gunshot wound. This 18-year-old male is now pronounced dead from his injuries.”

Also in the vehicle was an 18-year-old woman, who was interviewed by police.

An unknown person was seen running north from the scene, Davidson said. No description was given.

He said the two 18-year-olds are from Wichita but did not live in the neighborhood where the shooting occurred. They had come to the gray house to meet someone.

Police talked with residents in the area and are encouraging people who might have seen or heard the shooting or know any information about it to call 911, Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111 or police detectives at 316-268-4407.
