On the evening of May 4, 2015, a shooting at a residence at 610 E. Third Street in Winfield, Kansas, left 32-year-old David E. Towles dead from a gunshot wound to the head. A second man, 40-year-old Richard Webster, was critically wounded with a gunshot to the throat; witnesses reported an individual entered the home, opened fire, and fled on foot.

Winfield police described the attack as not random and launched a multiagency investigation that included the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Cowley County Sheriff’s Office, and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force. The city offered a $2,500 reward for information. After another arrest on unrelated warrants produced key leads, authorities established probable cause and identified a primary suspect.

On May 8, 2015, 26-year-old Joshua Stasa of Winfield was arrested and booked on charges including first-degree murder for Towles, attempted first-degree murder for Webster, and transporting contraband into the jail. Does anyone have information about that night or the people involved that could help clarify what happened?
