SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a burglary that sent two suspects to an area hospital and have reported a second arrest.
Just after 2 a.m. June 8, police responded to a burglary-in-progress call at the home in the 1400 Block of North Caddy in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers located a black 2017 Mazda 4-door that had crashed into a tree in the front yard of a separate home in the same block. Inside the vehicle was a 19-year-old female who had sustained a gunshot wound to her leg and a 19-year-old male who had sustained a gunshot wound to his body.
The woman identified as Mia Yevonne Marie Hidalgo was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury, and the man later identified as Kaeden Murphy was taken to an area hospital for treatment of a serious injury.
The investigation revealed a 42-year-old man was at home with his 38-year-old spouse and 5-year-old son. He heard his garage door open, went outside and heard a discussion between individuals in the Mazda and a black truck, targeting his home.
Murphy and Hidalgo then pulled into his driveway with their headlights off and began to get out of the car. The 42-year-old yelled at them and fired two times from a shotgun, striking the individuals and the Mazda. Inside the Mazda, officers located two handguns, and the vehicle was reported as stolen.
On Sunday police reported Kaeden Murphy had been moved to jail and is being held on requested charges of aggravated burglary, theft, burglary, criminal possession of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm and a drug violation, according to online jail records. He is being held on a $50,000 bond.
On Friday, police reported Mia Yevonne Marie Hidalgo, 19, was in custody on requested charges of aggravated burglary, theft and a drug possession charge, according to the Sedgwick County booking report. She is being held on a bond of $51,500, according to online jail records.
