A graduation party in Haysville, Kansas, turned deadly in the early hours of Sunday, May 21, 2023. Around 12:30 a.m. officers found 20-year-old Armando Garcia of Wichita with a gunshot wound to his abdomen in the 3000 block of E. 79th St. South. He was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

Investigators say Garcia and the person suspected in his shooting were not strangers and were described as friends. Alcohol was thought to have been present at the gathering and may have influenced events that night. In connection with the death, 21-year-old Isac Monjaras of Haysville was arrested and booked on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter.

Anyone who attended that party or who knew Armando and might have information about what led to the shooting is asked to come forward.
