Christopher Galvan was 22 and from Topeka when he was shot on the evening of Monday, July 27, 2015, in East Topeka. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries and died there on Wednesday, July 29, 2015, surrounded by family.

The Topeka Police Department opened a homicide investigation and, early on, named a person of interest they believed had information about the shooting. Investigators sought to identify and locate that individual to clarify the circumstances of the attack. No arrest or identification of a suspect has been reported since the incident, and the case remains unresolved.

Christopher’s death is a reminder of the impact of gun violence on families and neighborhoods. If anyone has information about what happened that night or about the person of interest, please come forward.
