WICHITA, Kan. (AP) Four people have been arrested in the shooting death of a 22-year-old man in Wichita, police said.
Officers found Jose Covarrubias dead at the Twin Rivers Apartment Complex late Monday. He was shot after a fight broke out with the four suspects during a drug deal, Capt. Jason Stephens said.
An officer had stopped a car with the four suspects when dispatchers reported the shooting, and they were arrested without incident, police said.
Authorities said Luis Martinez, 22; Nicholas Olmos, 18; and 20-year-old Jaylon Pete were booked Tuesday on possible charges of first-degree murder in commission of a felony. A 16-year-old suspect was also arrested on a possible felony murder count.
