Anthony James Lynn Slaughter was 22 when he was shot and killed behind the Rumba Latina Club at 1953 S. Hydraulic in Wichita, Kansas, on the night of February 2, 2019. Calls to police began about 11:38 p.m. after witnesses reported hearing multiple gunshots during a disturbance. Slaughter was struck once in the upper chest, ran a block west, and collapsed at Mt. Vernon and Greenwood. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead at 12:41 a.m.

Police arrested 26-year-old Jose Enrique Fortiz on February 4, 2019, charging him with first-degree premeditated murder, attempted murder, two counts of criminal discharge of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Prosecutors said the shooting grew out of a long-standing gang rivalry and that Slaughter was not the intended target; the believed target was a friend who had come with Slaughter to retrieve a forgotten debit card. Fortiz’s first trial in November 2019 ended in a mistrial; a May 2021 jury later found him not guilty of all charges. No further arrests in Slaughter’s murder have been made.
