Wichita police are seeking tips from the public to help solve the shooting of a 58-year-old man last week.
The man was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, Officer Paul Cruz said by email. Emergency medical services staff were dispatched to the 500 block of East Second Street and found him with a gunshot wound to his upper body. Officers were sent to Via Christi Hospital St. Francis to investigate at about 5:30 a.m. on Thursday.

“The initial investigation revealed an unknown suspect shot the victim,” Cruz said in an emailed news release.
“Investigators are still trying to determine what led up to the shooting and are asking for the public’s help.”
