A 21-year-old Wichita woman died Wednesday evening after being taken to Ascension Via Christi St. Francis with a gunshot wound, Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses said during a news conference Thursday morning.
Police were called to a walk-in shooting victim at 9:24 p.m
Jadidah Ponce died in hospital.
“At this point in the investigation, the details that can be released are limited. We are still actively investigating this matter and know that there are additional witnesses who have not provided statements or cooperated with this investigation,” Moses said. “This appears to be a case of targeted violence between two specific groups of people and not a random shooting. Our investigators are processing multiple crime scenes related to this homicide.”
Another murder occurred Wednesday evening, bringing the city’s total number of homicides this year to at least 21. Last year there were twelve.
