On November 30, 2019, a visit to an apartment at 1212 S. Main in Wichita turned fatal when 24-year-old John Buess-Wheeler was shot during an argument. The gathering had involved music, alcohol, and marijuana; earlier that night Carver Khalid Soliman sold Buess-Wheeler $20 worth of marijuana. After Buess-Wheeler and a friend left, Soliman said an ounce of his marijuana was missing and had a woman call them back.

A confrontation followed. Soliman accused Buess-Wheeler of theft; Buess-Wheeler denied it and accused Soliman of taking 9 mm bullets from his jacket. Buess-Wheeler was struck in the chest, collapsed near the doorway, and later died at Ascension Via Christi St. Francis Hospital. Another man with Buess-Wheeler was wounded in the lower right arm.

Soliman called 911 and identified himself as the shooter when police arrived. He was arrested and charged with second-degree intentional murder, aggravated battery, and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Did anyone who knew Buess-Wheeler or was at that apartment that night come forward with information?
