Brandon Walters, 35, was shot and killed at his home on the 1700 block of South Roanoke in Wichita, Kansas, on March 3, 2016. An argument between Walters and a friend, reportedly over clothing and laundry and involving narcotics use by both men, escalated inside the house. According to accounts, Joshua Thomas, 27, fired a single shot that struck Walters in the neck. Walters stumbled outside and collapsed in his front yard, where he died.

A woman who witnessed the shooting told authorities about the argument that led up to the shot. Thomas fled and was located after a police search that included an hours-long standoff near Kellogg and Edgemoor in April 2016. He was initially charged with second-degree murder and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter; a judge sentenced him in December 2016 to six years and five months for the manslaughter and an additional 26 months consecutively for methamphetamine possession.
