Man charged with murder in deadly south-Wichita shooting

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - One of two men arrested in connection with a Jan. 16 deadly shooting near Market and Gilbert streets, in south Wichita, made his first court appearance Tuesday in which he was formally charged. Yancy Hermosillo was charged with “murder in the second degree; unintentional but reckless,” in the death of 35-year-old Ladonte Ostrander.

The bond for Hermosillo was set at $1 million.

At about 5:12 a.m. last Tuesday, Jan. 16, WPD officers responded to a 911 shots-fired call in the 1000 block of South Market. Officers arrived and searched the area but found no scene, victim, or witness. Ten minutes later, officers were dispatched to an unknown call in the 900 block of South Market. There, they found a man, identified as Ostrander, wounded. Sedgwick County EMS transported Ostrander to a local hospital where he died.

Police named Robert Howland as the second man arrested in connection with the deadly shooting.
