A dispute over a pit bull on a Wichita front porch turned deadly on June 11, 2015. Roman Padilla, 41, was shot at a residence in the 500 block of South Edwards and died later at a local hospital. Padilla’s dog, Buddy Wilson, was also shot and killed during the confrontation.

Police say 32-year-old Justin Rourke went to Padilla’s home with two others to retrieve a pit bull he believed was his. An argument on the front porch escalated when Rourke drew a handgun and fired multiple shots; one struck Padilla in the torso. Rourke then fled but surrendered to authorities shortly afterward, saying he acted in self-defense and alleging Padilla had threatened someone with a baseball bat. Rourke was charged with second-degree murder, four counts of aggravated assault, and animal cruelty, with bond set at $500,000.

Does anyone have information about the events on that porch or the people involved that could shed more light on what happened?
