SEDGWICK COUNTY—A Kansas man accused in a deadly shooting in Wichita made his first court appearance in the case last week.
Peter McKinney, 22 of Wichita, is charged with 2nd degree murder, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
Police also arrested McKinney's father at the scene on a requested charge of Criminal Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. More investigation is needed before further charges are filed against him, according to the district attorney's office.
Just after 11a.m. July 1, Sedgwick County Emergency Communications received a call reporting a shooting at the Rockborough apartment complex, 202 N Rock Road in Wichita, according to police spokesman Andrew Ford.
First responders located 25-year-old Sebastian Crawford of Wichita with a single gunshot wound. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.
Multiple other individuals, including two juveniles, were located inside the apartment. EMS transported a woman to an area hospital to be evaluated for a condition apparently unrelated to the shooting. No other injuries were reported.
Homicide investigators responded to the scene and worked with patrol officers to understand what led up to the shooting. According to Sedgwick County booking records, police arrested 22-year-old Peter McKinney and 50-year-old Jeffrey McKinney.
At this time, police believe that Crawford and Peter McKinney knew each other and were involved in an argument before the shooting.
Peter McKinney remains jailed on a half-million dollar bond. His next court hearing is July 15, according to the district attorney's office. His father remains jailed on a $50,000 bond, according to online jail records.
This is the 18th criminal homicide in Wichita this year, according to Ford.
