On the evening of May 10, 2023, a dispute over a stolen scooter in southeast Wichita, Kansas, ended when 31-year-old Chance Martin was shot once in the chest during a street confrontation in the Planeview neighborhood. Punches had been exchanged between Martin and the brother of 24-year-old Angel Pedro Lara before Lara produced a gun and fired. Martin was taken to Wesley Medical Center and died about 40 minutes later.

Witnesses identified the vehicle Lara fled in, and police used the Flock Safety camera system to track it to a house roughly four miles from the shooting, where Lara was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Lara later pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless murder and received a sentence of ten years and three months; he was ordered to register as a violent offender after release.

Did anyone in the Planeview area witness the earlier argument about the scooter or see the vehicle before the shooting?
