SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a fatal weekend shooting 

Just after 5a.m. Saturday, police were called to the 3800 block of East Roseberry in Wichita, according to a media release. They found 31-year-old Javari Jones with several gunshot wounds. EMS transported Jones to a local hospital where he died.

Investigators learned Jones went into a home and confronted a 40-year-old man about a relationship with a woman. 

An argument broke out and Jones fired several shots from a handgun, striking the other man in the upper chest.   The 40-year-old man fired several shots that struck Jones.  The 40-year-old drove himself to a hospital where he was treated for serious injuries.

Police will present the case to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.
