On October 12, 2020, 68-year-old Troy L. Harris of Wichita was shot around 1 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 2700 block of South Emporia, near Pawnee and Broadway. Troy called 911 reporting he had been shot in the chest while visiting his younger brother’s apartment. Officers found him wounded in the parking lot next to a car; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries.

The dispute reportedly began inside the apartment between Troy and his 61-year-old brother, Thomas Harris, over pain medication and became physical. During the struggle, Thomas produced a handgun and fired multiple shots. He fled on foot but was identified and arrested the same evening; he was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on second-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. Thomas later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, admitting the killing occurred during a sudden quarrel or heat of passion and saying the gun discharged while they wrestled.

Does anyone have information about Troy’s activities that afternoon or witnessed the disturbance at the apartment complex?
