In the early morning hours of August 17, 2020, 27-year-old Miguel Tapia was shot and later died following an argument inside a Nissan Pathfinder in a southeast Wichita neighborhood. Tapia was driving the vehicle with Donovan Harrington and two young women, aged 19 and 20. The Pathfinder stopped in the 600 block of South Armour Drive; Harrington and the two women fled on foot and flagged down a teal Ford F-150, whose driver was unaware of what had happened, and rode to a nearby hotel.

First responders found Tapia outside the SUV with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died later that day. The Wichita Police Department treated the shooting as a targeted incident and identified Donovan Michael Harrington as the suspect, asking the public for help locating the teal pickup. The following day Harrington, then 25 and on parole at the time of the shooting, was located during a traffic stop and arrested. Does anyone have additional information about that night or about Miguel’s life in Wichita?
