Wichita police have arrested a 17-year-old boy in connection with a shooting that injured three people on the southeast side last month.

The teen was booked for three counts of aggravated battery and criminal discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure.

The shooting happened the night of April 19 during a party at a business near Harry and George Washington Boulevard. Officer Charley Davidson said that during a disturbance, the teen and a second unknown suspect fired multiple shots, striking the victims. 

Officers arrived to find three men in their 20s with gunshot wounds to their bodies. Two were treated for non-life-threatening injuries and the third refused treatment. 

A 19-year-old woman later showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to her leg. She was treated and released.  

Anyone with information is asked to call WPD detectives at (316) 268-4407 or Crime Stoppers at (316) 267-2111.
