In the early hours of November 13, 2023, 74-year-old Robert H. Mitchell was found in his Wichita home in the 3900 block of South Young with a gunshot wound. Officers who responded just after midnight attempted lifesaving measures, but Mitchell died at the scene.

A 67-year-old woman known to Mitchell was present and was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Authorities say the shooting appears tied to a personal conflict rather than a random act, but the nature of the relationship and what led to the shooting remain under investigation. This was reported as the city’s 42nd homicide of the year, up from 33 at the same point the year before.

If anyone knew Robert, the woman who was arrested, or witnessed events in southwest Wichita that night, please share what might help investigators.
