Braekwon Eugene JaQur Bennett, 22, an African American man, was shot and killed the evening of Monday, November 1, 2021, in Wichita, Kansas. Police were called about 5:30 p.m. to an apartment in the 300 block of West 10th Street North, where Bennett was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random and believe Bennett knew the people who shot him. Two male suspects, ages 17 and 18, arrived at the apartment and confronted Bennett; an altercation turned violent and multiple shots were fired. The 18-year-old was also shot during the incident. Both suspects fled but later presented at a hospital so the 18-year-old could receive treatment. Police contacted the 17-year-old at the hospital; he tried to run but was arrested and booked into the Juvenile Detention Facility on a charge of first-degree murder. The 18-year-old remained hospitalized and was to be booked into jail upon release. No other suspects were being sought.
