Emmitt Lee Olson, a 40-year-old White male, was shot and killed on April 17, 2018, inside a house in the 2900 block of South Sayles in Wichita’s Planeview neighborhood. More than six people were present in the home that afternoon; police had previously visited the address in connection with drug use. The shooting occurred during a conflict that arose from an attempted methamphetamine deal. Randy G. Trimmell, then 28, pulled out a handgun and fired a single shot that struck Olson in the chest. Officers who arrived at the scene found Olson deceased; the person who initially reported the shooting had already left.

Investigators initially had no clear motive or identified suspect, but the probe ultimately focused on Trimmell. Prosecutors charged him with second-degree murder; he later pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter. In January 2021 Trimmell was sentenced to 107 months in prison for the killing.

If anyone knew Olson, attended the house on April 17, 2018, or has information about the events that led to the shooting, please come forward.
