SEDGWICK COUNTY— A Kansas man found guilty in the death of a 1-year-old in Wichita will learn his fate on Friday.

Roames Bonner, 20, is scheduled for a sentencing hearing, in the courtroom of Judge Jeffrey Goering, for the death of Taidyn Anderson in February 2024, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.

In September, a jury found Bonner guilty of First-Degree Murder, two counts of Aggravated Battery, and two counts of Criminal Discharge of a Firearm, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office.

The shooting incident resulted in the death of the child and gunshot wounds to two women.

The incident stemmed from an argument over an Amazon package, according to prosecutors.

Just after 7p.m. February 19, 2024 police responded to a shooting in the 2500 block of South Oliver, according to Police Lt. Aaron Moses. Through the investigation, officers learned that two women were struck by gunfire and 1-year-old Taidyn Anderson of Wichita was also struck by gunfire and died of his injuries at a hospital.

 Bonner is the last of three suspects charged in the case. 

Trial for the third suspect is set to begin in March.
