SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating an alleged aggravated assault and have a suspect in custody.
Just after 2:00 a.m. Friday, police responded to a disturbance weapon with shots fired in the 600 block of N. Gordon in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
A 42-year-old man reported that an unknown suspect fired a handgun at him. He was not injured.
The victim provided officers a description of the suspect, and shortly after, police located 22-year-old Luke Peters in the alleyway to the west of the victim's residence.
An officer identified himself and gave commands to Peters to surrender. Peters refused to comply and ran south through the alley, leading officers on a brief foot pursuit.
He was taken into custody and was found to be in possession of a handgun.
The investigation revealed that the 42-year-old male and Peters were involved in a disturbance over the victim believing that Peters was tampering with his vehicle. That’s when Peters displayed the gun and fired a single shot towards the victim.
Peters is being held on requested charges of aggravated assault and obstruction, according to Davidson.
