Christopher Story, 38, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound in his third-floor apartment at Galena Estates Apartments near East 7th Street and State Line Road in Galena, Kansas, in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2024. Officers responded about 2:20 a.m. after a report of a shooting and encountered a juvenile male sitting on the apartment building’s stairs; that juvenile told officers someone had been shot inside and was later arrested and taken to a juvenile detention center pending formal charges.

The Galena Police Department has not released further details about how the shooting occurred or the relationship between Story and the juvenile suspect as the investigation continues. Does anyone have information about activity at Galena Estates Apartments that night or knew Christopher Story?
