At least one person is in custody tonight in connection with Sunday’s deadly shooting in west Wichita.
‎

Just before 2:30PM yesterday, officers were called to the 2700 block of W 2nd for a reported shooting. When they arrived, they found a 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his back. He was taken to a local hospital where he died.
‎
Police say the shooting followed a disturbance between the victim & four other men. All four reportedly fled the scene.
‎
‎
We've learned that 27-year-old Elijah Donte Fanning has been booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for:
• Second Degree Intentional Murder
• Criminal Possession of a Weapon
• Criminal Discharge of a Firearm
• Parole Violation- State A&D
• State A&D

🎆 FIREWORKS REMINDER:
• Non-aerial fireworks: June 27th - July 5th
• Aerial fireworks: July 3rd - July 5th
• Legal shooting hours: 10AM to Midnight
‎
‎
Here’s when you should & shouldn’t call 911

🚫 Don't call 911 because:
• The fireworks woke up your baby for the 3rd time
• Your neighbor’s playlist is stuck on Pitbull’s greatest hits
• Someone’s kid called your pet ugly & now there’s tension
• Your dog joined the witness protection program over loud noises
• You think fireworks are a government distraction & want to report it
‎

✅ Do call 911 if:
• Someone’s hand just became a casualty of a homemade firework
• A bottle rocket just went through your living room window
• The firework display turned into an unplanned street-wide evacuation
• Someone thinks shooting a bottle rocket from their mouth is a good idea
• You hear yelling, screaming, & what sounds like real gunfire
‎
‎
But in all seriousness, if it’s about fireworks, loud parties, or excessive noise—not life or death—call the non-emergency number at 316-290-1011.
This line is open every night from 6PM to 3AM, now through July 6th.
It keeps dispatch lines open for real emergencies & still gets your complaint handled.

We received this message about what allegedly occurred:
"In regards to that 2nd and edwards situation there was a bunch of people outside arguing a little but before a car pulled up and shots were fired. The white male was struck and two other dudes stood over him hitting and kicking him before running in the house. The car sped off and more shots fired in the midst of all of this. I’m pretty sure they set up the guy that was hanging out at the house and had this car pull up and shoot. They ran inside and slammed the door leaving the dude outside. Police then showed up minutes later. He was already pretty much lifeless when they got there and provided chest compression etc. There’s atleast 4 people that ran from the residence and this is not the first occasion. They have kids there all the time and this one day the kids were not all there..... There’s a young white male who lives there that these people have been living with him causing issues with all the neighbors. Drugs. Guns and gang affiliation has all been witnessed."
