Robert Young, known as Robby to those who knew him, was a 28-year-old musician and father who was shot during a confrontation at the Woodgate Apartments in Wichita. The shooting happened the night of December 29, 2016; Young was found in a hallway with multiple gunshot wounds and died at a local hospital on December 30, 2016.

Young and the roommate left the apartment and returned shortly afterward. Young reportedly began hitting the apartment door for several minutes. The man inside, 24-year-old Kirby Lewis, opened the door and fired multiple shots, striking Young. Lewis was arrested and charged with second-degree murder but during the November 2017 trial he argued he acted in self-defense, saying he believed Young was trying to break in; a jury acquitted him.

No other suspects were publicly identified or charged. Does anyone have information about the people involved that could shed light on what happened that night?
