WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Update Feb. 17, 2022: A second person has been arrested in connection to the Feb. 10 shooting at 21st and Maize, according to Sedgwick County booking sheets.
Diego Briceno of Wichita was arrested and booked on charges of aggravated battery, reckless bodily harm with a deadly weapon and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon.
Update Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 15, 2022: The Wichita Police Department identified an 18-year-old Muskogee, Oklahoma man arrested in connection with the Feb. 10 shooting in a Dillons parking lot at 21st and Maize Road. Police arrested Inman Foye on charges of aggravated robbery and criminal use of weapons. Foye was wounded during the incident and treated at a local hospital before being booked into the Sedgwick County Jail.
A little before 2:30 p.m. Feb. 10, WPD officers responded to a shooting call at 21st and Maize Road.
“Wichita Fire Department personnel were at the Dillon’s store at that location when they located an 18-year-old male, identified as Foye, with a gunshot wound. Foye directed them to another victim, a 21-year-old male, who was in the parking lot between two vehicles with multiple gunshot wounds,” Wichita police said.
Foye and the 21-year-old man were transported to a local hospital with critical injuries. Police said Foye was released Sunday, Feb. 13, and booked into jail. Police said the 21-year-old man is still in the hospital.
Police also offered further insight into what led up to the Feb. 10 shooting. A little after 2 p.m., one of the vehicles involved in the incident backed into a stall on the east side of the Dillons parking lot. Police said a man exited the vehicle, removed something from the trunk, the re-entered the car. Later, a second vehicle backed into a stall next to the first one and shortly after that, police said, gunfire was exchanged between the two cars and three men exited the vehicles.
“It was initially believed that three males fled into the neighborhood to the east, while one male remained by the vehicles. However, it has since been discovered that only two males fled into the neighborhood, and one male remained by the vehicles. One of the males that fled into the neighborhood – Iman Foye – returned to the parking lot where he contacted Fire Department personnel,” police said. “The other suspect involved has since been identified as a 28-year-old male and WPD is actively working to locate him. The investigation is ongoing.”
The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Foye was released after posting bail.
Police arrested one person over the weekend in connection to a shooting that left two people injured in west Wichita last week.
Iman Foye, of Muskogee, Okla., was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for aggravated robbery; armed with a dangerous weapon and criminal carrying of a weapon; barrel less than 18 inches with an automatic trigger. Foye is no longer in jail.
Wichita police have been searching for two suspects involved in the shooting that happened last Thursday after two people were found with gunshot wounds in the parking of the Dillons located at 21st Street and Maize Road. Both suffered critical injuries.
According to the online booking sheets, Foye was arrested at 929 N. St. Francis, which is the address for Ascension Via Christi St. Francis hospital.
