A long-running dispute between neighbors in Wichita turned deadly on May 4, 2016. Gilford Carter, a 55-year-old Black man, was shot and killed outside the Calvary Towers apartment building at 2600 N. Grove. Neighbors had reported a feud lasting about four years.

On the afternoon of the shooting Carter and 59-year-old Jimmie Earl Palmer exchanged words outside the building and went back to their apartments. Ten to 15 minutes later Carter returned carrying a golf club; Palmer came down armed. As they confronted one another, Palmer drew a gun and fired a single shot that struck Carter in the chest. Carter ran about 20 yards to a grassy area before collapsing and dying. Wichita police who were nearby heard the shot and arrived at the scene around 4:15 p.m.

Palmer was taken into custody for questioning and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder; prosecutors charged him with second-degree intentional murder and he was held on $250,000 bond. A prior incident from 2012 was reported in which Carter had allegedly struck Palmer with a golf club.

Did anyone in the building or the neighborhood witness the immediate confrontation or the events that led up to it?
