One person died after shooting following argument at Wichita drive-through, police say

A 19-year-old Wichita man is dead after an argument Monday night at a Burger King drive-through led to a shooting, Wichita police Capt. Jason Stephens said Tuesday.

Officers were working a traffic stop at around 11:30 p.m. Monday at the QuikTrip at Harry and Oliver when they were contacted by a 20-year-old woman driving a Dodge Avenger. Inside the vehicle, police found Quantin McIntosh Jr., who had been shot. He was taken to an area hospital, where he later died.

Police later learned McIntosh was driving the Avenger with his girlfriend in the car when an argument started between him and people inside a dark-colored sedan. Stephens said the verbal argument started while they were both at the drive-through at a Burger King on Harry and less than half a mile from where police were contacted about the shooting.

McIntosh followed the vehicle, he said.

“At about Harry and Roosevelt, both vehicles stopped in the street and the suspect vehicle fired multiple shots into Mr. McIntosh’s vehicle ... fatally injuring him,” Stephens said.

McIntosh’s girlfriend then drove the vehicle until contacting the officers.

Stephens said police don’t know the motive of the shooting or if there is any relationship between the victim and people in the other vehicle.

Anyone with information about the shooting can call Wichita police detectives at 316-268-4407, Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111 or the See Something, Say Something hotline at 316-519-2282.

This was Wichita’s 16th homicide of 2021. Police consider 14 of the homicides to be criminal, including Monday’s homicide, and two to be justified, which can include self-defense. Wichita had 14 homicides at this time last year, which was a record year for homicides.

“It’s just nationwide there’s been a surge in violent crime, in particularly shootings, and Wichita seems to not be an exception to that,” Stephens said.
