Evan Harrison, 24, was found with a gunshot wound in the street in the 4200 block of South Clifton in Wichita during the late hours of March 4, 2023. Deputies responding to a welfare check located bystanders attempting to render aid; Harrison was transported to a local hospital and later died of his injuries.

Prosecutors say Julian Cesar Wedge, 24, arranged to meet Harrison under the pretense of buying a gun. A struggle reportedly occurred when Wedge tried to rob Harrison of the firearm; Harrison was shot twice in the right leg. He was then pushed out of a car and left in the street. Harrison’s backpack and the gun he was selling were not recovered. Investigators also allege Wedge attempted to destroy evidence by burning clothing and towels said to have been used to clean blood from the car.

Wedge was arrested and charged in connection with Harrison’s death. Those with information about Evan, the meeting on March 4, or the missing backpack and firearm are asked to come forward.
