On June 9, 2020, in Wichita, Kansas, a domestic dispute at a home in the 2800 block of South Ida ended when 32-year-old Rahim Omar was shot. According to reports, Omar had gone to the residence of his 24-year-old girlfriend; an argument that followed was described as a continuation of a troubled history that had produced police calls the month before. During the confrontation Omar broke a window and reportedly charged toward the woman while threatening her. She fired one shot, which struck him.

A friend drove Omar from the home to a nearby QuikTrip at Hydraulic and Wassall, where someone called police about 3:40 p.m. He was taken to a hospital and died later that evening. Investigators interviewed the girlfriend at the South Ida address and the case was forwarded to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office to decide whether charges would be filed. The coroner ruled the death a homicide in the context of a domestic violence dispute. Has anyone in Wichita heard more about the couple or that neighborhood around South Ida in June 2020?
