Costello Reed Jr., a 41-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in the early morning of Saturday, October 24, 2020, after a disturbance at the Apple Lounge in the 3200 block of North Broadway in Wichita, Kansas. The shooting happened during a party; a suspect reportedly walked up to Reed and fired one shot into his upper body. Reed was transported to a local hospital around 2:00 a.m., but died of his injuries.

Wichita Police detectives determined the shooting was not random, but the suspect has not been identified. Numerous witnesses were present, yet cooperation with police was limited, which hindered the initial investigation. No arrests have been announced and the case has been assigned to the Wichita Police Department Cold Case Unit, which continues to seek information.

Did anyone who was at the Apple Lounge that night or who knows something about the disturbance come forward with tips?
