Wichita Police are calling for help finding those involved in a shooting that hit an occupied car and home, striking a 9-year-old girl in the arm.
He sustained minor injuries, Wichita Police spokesman Trevor Macy said.
The shooting – captured on a home camera – occurred at approximately 6:49 p.m. on Jan. 22 in the 1900 block of S. Saint Clair, near Meridian and May.
An 18-year-old man driving a white Dodge Neon, who had turned from May to Saint Clair and was heading north, stopped in a driveway when the shooting started, Macy said. The video shows an SUV speeding towards the car and several shooters raining down shots.
More than 20 shots were fired.
The car was hit but the driver wasn’t, Macy said, and the house the girl was hit in was not the one the driver entered. Two other people were inside the house, according to police records, and two other people reported damage to their property.
The man reversed and took off in the same direction as the SUV after the shooters passed, but turned away at the first opportunity, the video shows. Macy said the SUV is silver or gray.
Macy said police would have had to identify the shooters to know a motive.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111. Callers can remain anonymous with Crime Stoppers. Any caller whose tip leads to an arrest can get up to $2,500.
