SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement investigating a shooting on Halloween that left a 13-year-old boy dead have a second suspect in custody.
On Monday, 19-year-old Jermall Campbell turned himself in, according to the Wichita Police Department. Campbell has been charged with Felony Murder, Aggravated Battery, and multiple counts of Aggravated Assault in connection to the homicide.
Just after 10:30p.m. October 31, police responded to a report of gunfire at the QuikTrip located at Central and Oliver in Wichita, according to Officer Kris Gupilan.
Officers discovered evidence of a shooting and the convenience store. Simultaneously, a walk-in report was received from a local hospital indicating that a private vehicle had transported victims of this incident for treatment.
The victims included a 15-year-old boy from Wichita, who suffered a gunshot wound to the leg, and a 13-year-old boy who sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced deceased shortly after arrival at the hospital.
Initial investigations reveal that a disturbance occurred in the QuikTrip parking lot, leading to the suspect firing at a crowd, which tragically resulted in injuries to the two victims.
On November 6, police arrested a 19-year-old Carrice Profit, Campbell's cousin in connection with the killing, according to Wichita Police spokesman Andrew Ford.
Profit was charged with 1st degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office..
Campbell is being held on a $1,000,000.00 bond, according to online jail records.
