John Ross was 27 when he was killed during a family dispute at a Wichita residence in the 800 block of South Terrace on May 2, 2021. A struggle over the weapon followed and a single round discharged, striking John in the chest as he sat on a couch and was not involved in the altercation.

Family members took John to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead despite medical efforts. The Wichita Police Department investigated, and Sandra Denise Ross was arrested on May 5, 2021, and booked on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter. The case was forwarded to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office for charging consideration.

Does anyone who knew John or was at the residence that night have details that could clarify exactly how the gun discharged?
