Wichita police have arrested 22-year-old Jessica Sanders on a charge of Second Degree Murder in this case. Police say, at around 12:20 PM Sunday, officers were called to a shoplifting case at the Quik Trip in the 700 block of S. Broadway.
An officer found Sanders walking in the area of Orme and Market, but as he approached her, he saw her fire a single shot from a handgun into the ground.

As officers worked to contact her inside the home, they found a man inside who was dead with a gunshot wound to his upper body. Investigators are still working to confirm the identity of the man.
