On Monday, September 1, 2025, a shooting in the parking lot of a North Broadway liquor store in Wichita, Kansas, left 19-year-old Mario Gustavo dead. Police were called about 2:11 p.m.; officers found three men with gunshot wounds and Gustavo was pronounced dead at the scene.

Reports say the violence began after a disturbance inside the liquor store that spilled into the parking lot. An employee contacted a male co-worker at a nearby farmers market to help remove two men, one of whom was Gustavo. That confrontation reportedly escalated into an exchange of gunfire. A retired Wichita police lieutenant saw a vehicle leaving the scene and followed it until officers conducted a traffic stop; a 17-year-old passenger and associate of Gustavo was found with a gunshot wound to his hand.

Wichita police arrested a 23-year-old man identified in booking records as Jaime Medina; he was also injured in the gunfight, treated at a hospital and later booked on requested charges of first-degree murder and battery with bond set at $1,000,000. Detectives say the investigation is ongoing. If anyone witnessed the incident or knew the people involved, please share what you know with investigators.
