JaRon V. Sanders, 26, was fatally shot in the head in the early morning hours of February 21, 2016, in Wichita, Kansas. Sanders had been hosting a party at his home in the 600 block of North Erie. As the gathering wound down, an argument between Sanders and another individual in the street outside the residence ended when a single gunshot struck him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

When police arrived the street was empty and witnesses had dispersed, leaving investigators with few immediate leads. Detectives spent the aftermath locating attendees and trying to reconstruct what happened. The inquiry ultimately identified a suspect, and a trial resulted in a guilty verdict for second-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm, with a subsequent 58-year prison sentence handed down in February 2017.

If anyone attended that party or has information about the events outside the home that night, please come forward to assist ongoing closure for the family.
