On Friday afternoon, February 5, 2021, 14-year-old Hispanic male Jesus Fernandez was killed in Wichita, Kansas. Fernandez was a passenger in a white Lexus that had been chased by a black Dodge Charger. The chase ended in a collision at 13th and Hillside when the Lexus struck another vehicle. After the crash, someone exited the Dodge Charger and fired multiple shots into the Lexus. Fernandez was struck and was pronounced dead at the scene after emergency services arrived.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random and that the victim and the suspects knew one another. In the days after the killing, the Wichita Police Department arrested 18-year-old Jaron S. Dupuis, who was charged with first-degree murder, and a 17-year-old male in connection with the shooting. Authorities described the homicide as gang-related and tied to an ongoing feud.
