On December 1, 2019, 19-year-old Sonja Brown, a Black woman, was at the 511 Club on North West Street in Wichita when an argument between two men escalated and numerous gunshots were fired. Patrons ran for cover; Brown, described by police as an innocent bystander and not the intended target, was struck and later died of her injuries.

Police linked the shooting to local gang activity and identified 25-year-old Terrance Nigel Johnson of Wichita as the person who allegedly fired the fatal shots. After he left the state, a multi-state search followed; Johnson was arrested in Warr Acres, Oklahoma, in January 2020 and extradited to Sedgwick County, where he was booked on suspicion of first-degree murder with bond set at $500,000.

If anyone was at the 511 Club that night or has information about the argument that led to the shooting, please come forward.
