On June 1, 2019, just after midnight in the 400 block of North New York Street in Wichita, Kansas, 29-year-old Ivell Ray was shot multiple times during a dispute and was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses said the argument involved another man who produced a handgun and fired several times. Ray was described as a Black/African American male; he had been riding a bicycle in the area and witnesses reported he had been making jokes about shooting up apartments earlier that day.

Police identified 34-year-old Isaac Phillips as the suspect and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree murder. Family members told investigators that Phillips had been confronted earlier about Ray’s behavior, which appears to have escalated into the deadly encounter.

If anyone witnessed the events that night or knew either man, please share what you remember with Wichita police.
