Two men are in custody after a 34-year-old Wichita man was shot and killed in south Wichita early Wednesday.

One of the men had suffered a gunshot wound. After questioning them, Blackwell police shared that information with Sedgwick County dispatch. Officers from the Wichita Police Department responded to the area of Hydraulic and MacArthur based on information suggesting a shooting victim would be there, the release said.
Officers found Daniel McPherson near the 1700 block of East MacArthur, close to Hydraulic, with a gunshot wound to his head. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Ford.
Police say the shooting happened in Wichita. Investigators went to Blackwell, where two suspects are in custody, the news release said.
