On Labor Day afternoon, September 1, 2025, 20-year-old Sebastian Williams was fatally shot in Wichita, Kansas. Police were called to the 2100 block of North Arkansas around 4:33 p.m.; officers found a vehicle in the 600 block of W. 20th Street North with Sebastian and another 20-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. Emergency responders transported both to a local hospital; Sebastian was pronounced dead at 4:58 p.m. and the other victim remained hospitalized in critical condition.

Sebastian, known as Bash to friends and family, was remembered as loyal and supportive with a passion for cooking, music, and video games. Authorities said this was one of three separate deadly shootings in Wichita that day but that the incidents were not connected.

Police announced the arrest of a 16-year-old male on suspicion of felony murder the day after the shooting and, on September 19, arrested a 17-year-old male; officials then said they were not looking for additional suspects. Does anyone who knew Sebastian or was in that area that afternoon have information that could help investigators?
