Deadly shooting happened in parking lot of south Wichita bar, police say

Police are investigating a deadly shooting at a south Wichita bar early Sunday morning.

Officers were called at around 12:30 a.m. to a shooting at Magoos Bar and Grill, 2304 S. Oliver, police spokesman Officer Kevin Wheeler said in a news release. Police found evidence of a shooting outside the restaurant, but they could not find anyone with gunshot wounds.

A short time later, the victim of the shooting showed up at a hospital, where he had been taken by a private vehicle, Wheeler said. The 29-year-old man had critical injuries and died at the hospital.

“The preliminary investigation has revealed that the victim was inside the bar, and a disturbance occurred between several other males,” Wheeler said. “They moved into the parking lot, and multiple shots were fired, striking the victim. This was not a random incident, and the investigation is ongoing.”

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers 316-267-2111.
