WICHITA, KAN. – A man who murdered another man over two years ago at a nightclub in Wichita has been sentenced to life in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
District Judge Eric Williams sentenced Brandon Evans, 38 of Wichita, on Friday.
Evans shot and killed Isaac Lewis, 37 of Wichita, on June 10th, 2018 outside Daiquiri’s Club at 7007 E. Harry. A 28 year old woman was shot in the arm. Evans was arrested after police saw him running from the club with a pistol in his hand.
On August 12, 2019, a jury found Evans guilty of 1st degree murder, aggravated battery, and criminal possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
At the sentencing hearing August 7, Evans claimed he suffered from a mental disease and shot Mr. Lewis after he threatened to kill Evans and his family.
Judge Williams disagreed with the defendant’s claim and sentenced him to life with no parole eligibility for 789 months.
