On the evening of February 11, 2025, Manuel Roach, 23, was shot in the 1200 block of South Bleckley in Wichita and later died of a gunshot wound to the stomach at a local hospital. Police received calls about a shooting at approximately 5:44 p.m.; witnesses described as many as 10 to 20 shots and saw three males dressed in black flee in a white SUV. Investigators said the incident appeared to be a targeted attack following a disturbance between Roach and three other men.

An 18-year-old, Sergio Clement, arrived at a Wichita hospital with a gunshot wound to his lower extremity and was taken into custody on suspicion of first-degree murder. A second suspect, 21-year-old Allen Griffin Jr., was also arrested and charged with first-degree murder; jail records indicate he may also face a drug-related charge.

Anyone who witnessed the February 11 shooting, has information about the suspects, or saw the white SUV leaving the area is asked to come forward.
