A neighborhood dispute over driving speed turned deadly in Wichita on the evening of September 12, 2025. According to witness accounts and surveillance, 48-year-old Brian Baker was playing football with his children and other neighborhood kids in the 900 block of South Vassar Avenue when an encounter with his neighbor, 38-year-old Allan Gunneson III, escalated. Neighbors say Baker approached Gunneson’s vehicle during a struggle; Gunneson told police he felt threatened and fired multiple shots, striking Baker in the torso.

Baker was found in a front yard with multiple gunshot wounds, transported to a hospital and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. Gunneson surrendered at the scene, was arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault, booked into the Sedgwick County Jail and released on $150,000 bond. The case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.

Did anyone in the neighborhood see or record the confrontation that night and hasn’t yet spoken to investigators?
