Jerome Armbeck was 33 when he was killed in Wichita, Kansas, after a drug deal turned into a robbery on August 19, 2019. His brother had arranged to sell marijuana and was robbed at gunpoint of a backpack; he called Jerome for help. A foot chase moved through an open field in the 4600 block of East Boston, and during the pursuit one of the suspects, identified as Orlando Howard, opened fire. Jerome was struck multiple times and was found gravely wounded; first responders pronounced him dead at the scene.

The Wichita Police Department’s investigation treated the case as drug-related and identified multiple people involved in the robbery and shooting. Four individuals were arrested in connection with the incident, with Orlando Howard identified as the shooter. Does anyone have information about Jerome, his movements that evening, or the people involved?
