WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — A 16-year-old Wichita boy was arrested on Friday in connection to a shooting that killed one person last Saturday.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder stemming from a shooting that killed 27-year-old Rashaad Hollingsworth.
A news release from WPD says on June 10 around 10 p.m., officers responded to a shooting call in the 2300 block of East MacArthur. When officers arrived they found Hollingsworth inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound to his upper body.
Hollingsworth was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
WPD learned through an investigation Hollingsworth was driving a Chevrolet Traverse when the shooting occurred. The teenager allegedly shot Hollingsworth, who lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a structure on the side of the road.
The teenager fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival. An investigation is ongoing.
