SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement continue investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Thursday evening at Dr. Glen Dey Park, located at 2801 N. Grove in Wichnita.
At approximately 7:03 p.m. an off-duty WPD detective working secondary employment at the park heard multiple gunshots from another area of the park. The detective immediately ran toward the scene and found 32-year-old Travon Stewart suffering from gunshot wounds.
The detective called for backup and emergency medical services, then began life-saving measures until EMS arrived. Stewart was transported to a local hospital in extremely critical condition and later died from his injuries.
Preliminary findings indicate that around 200 to 300 people were in attendance at the football games. Stewart was at the park selling concessions as a fundraiser for a football team not affiliated with the Wichita Junior Football League.
Homicide investigators responded to the scene and interviewed witnesses who remained in the area. Detectives believe this was a targeted shooting and not connected to the youth football games.
Crime Stoppers is offering up to a $2,500 reward for information leading to an arrest in the shooting.
Anyone who attended the games or may have information is urged to contact the Wichita Police Department Investigations Section at 316-268-4407.
