Wichita murder suspect had been out of prison for 3 months after 2008 fatal shooting
The man arrested by Wichita police in connection to a weekend homicide had been paroled from state prison less than three months ago after pleading guilty to being involved in a 2008 fatal shooting.
One person was killed and another person injured in a southeast Wichita shootout early Saturday morning, police have said. Officers were called to the 2200 block of South Glendale, near Pawnee and Oliver, at around 5:40 a.m.
Police have said two people got into an argument that escalated into a shooting, and both people involved appeared to have been shot. The person who died has not been identified by police.
Sedgwick County Jail records show Aubrey Montez Oliver, 28, of Wichita, was booked into the facility later that day on suspicion of first-degree murder. He remains in jail on a $250,000 bond.
Oliver had been released from prison and paroled in Sedgwick County in July, Kansas Department of Corrections records show. He was on “moderate” supervision.
In 2009, Oliver took a plea deal in connection to a 2008 Hutchinson homicide. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in exchange for his testimony against two other men charged in the shooting death of Kenneth “Landy” White, the AP reported at the time.
Oliver was 19 at the time.
After his conviction, Oliver served about nine years in five different state prisons. He received 64 disciplinary reports, Kansas Department of Corrections records show.
