Tracy Collins, 62, known to friends and family as T.C., was shot and killed in the front yard of his home in the 700 block of North Piatt in Wichita, Kansas on the afternoon of Sunday, September 7, 2025. He was involved in a confrontation with two men and a woman just before 4 p.m.; a gunshot struck him in the chest. Neighbors were performing CPR when officers arrived and paramedics transported him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Wichita Police Department used drones, a K-9 unit and Flock camera technology while investigators worked the scene. Two people were arrested soon after: 19-year-old Jahmarious Johnson and 20-year-old Mya Pitzer. In September 2025 both were charged with first-degree murder; Pitzer also faces a weapon charge. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the confrontation or the shooting.

Does anyone in Wichita remember seeing activity on North Piatt that afternoon or have information about the confrontation leading up to the shooting?
