On the evening of March 2, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas, 56-year-old Darnell Guiden was fatally shot while seated in his 1998 Chevrolet pickup in the parking lot of an American Legion post in the 1300 block of North Hydraulic. Officers arrived after a 911 call was placed by the suspect, 40-year-old Tristan D. Miles. Guiden was found with multiple gunshot wounds, received life-saving measures from EMS, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital at 7:57 p.m.

Investigators say surveillance footage shows Miles approaching Guiden’s truck with a handgun, firing several shots, walking away, then returning to fire more rounds through the windshield as Guiden tried to close his door and reverse. Seven shell casings were recovered around and inside the vehicle. Miles, who had previously been banned from the establishment, remained at the scene and was taken into custody without incident.

Miles was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail and charged with first-degree premeditated murder and criminal discharge of a firearm; the case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office. Does anyone have information about Guiden, his movements that evening, or the American Legion post’s activity that night?
