SEDGWICK COUNTY—A man accused in a deadly shooting is going to prison.
On Friday, Judge Jeff Goering sentenced 41-year-old Tyree Jackson of Wichita to 146 months in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In November Jackson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the death of 20-year-old Jaden Wilson.
In March of 2024, police were alerted to a shooting incident in the 2200 Block of N. Grove in Wichita, according to Police spokesperson Andrew Ford.
First responders discovered 20-year-old Jaden Wilson outside of a gold Buick, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced deceased at 5:46 p.m. by Sedgwick County Emergency Medical Services.
A witness in the vehicle at the time of the incident was able to provide officers with details that quickly led to the identification of Jackson as the suspect.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the suspect were acquainted and involved in an ongoing dispute.
A short time after the shooting occurred, a 17-year-old suspect voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement at the Sedgwick County Jail and was later charged in Juvenile court, according to the district attorney's office.
