On the evening of September 10, 2016, 32-year-old Brandon Kirksey was fatally shot in Wichita, Kansas. Police were called to the 2000 block of West Rita near Meridian and Pawnee around 7:55 p.m. and found Kirksey lying face down in a driveway with a gunshot wound to his neck. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead by about 8:30 p.m.

Investigators say the shooting followed a dispute between Kirksey and 24-year-old Charles S. Johnston. Kirksey went to Johnston’s home in the 1900 block of West Rita that night; Johnston reportedly began firing, and Kirksey ran west on Rita before being struck. Police concluded the incident was not gang-related. Johnston was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder but was never formally charged; investigators later determined he had acted in self-defense.

Are there details about the dispute or the events earlier that evening that could help explain what led to the shooting?
