Police identify Wichita woman fatally shot; estranged husband charged with murder
A 25-year-old Wichita woman shot at an apartment complex last week died on Monday, leading to the arrest of her estranged husband, the Wichita Police Department said.
Ivy Unruh, 25, was separated from her husband, 29-year-old Joshua Orlando, when the shooting was reported shortly after 8 a.m. Friday.
When police arrived at The Remington Apartments at 7272 E. 37th St. North, they found Unruh near one of the complex’s buildings, a police news release says. She had been shot in the upper body and was taken to a hospital “in grave condition.”
Police found a firearm and Orlando at the scene. Orlando was taken into custody by police and was later booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of aggravated battery, the release says.
After Unruh died, Orlando was rebooked on suspicion of murder, police said. He’s since been formally charged with one count of premeditated first-degree murder and remains in custody, according to the release.
Orlando made his first appearance in Sedgwick County District Court on Tuesday, court records show. He is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 5.
