A man died from injuries sustained during a shooting Wednesday evening in southeast Wichita, and a suspect has been arrested

The shooting was reported in the Planeview neighborhood near S. Rutan Street and E. Sunnybrook Lane just after 7 p.m. Wichita Police said 31-year-old Chance Martin was walking on Sunnybrook when a black car pulled up next to him with two to three people inside.   Police said a fight between the man and occupants of the vehicle led to the shooting, and it’s believed the fight may have concerned possible stolen property.

Police said they arrested a 24-year-old Wichita man in connection with the shooting.  His vehicle was identified by witnesses and officers later used the FLOCK license-plate reading system to find the vehicle in the 900 block of West 47th Street South.   Information will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office for a decision on charges.
