SEDGWICK COUNTY — A second suspect is charged in the shooting death of a Wichita teenager in May at a Wichita apartment complex.

Twenty-two-year-old Nathaniel Saunders appeared in court Tuesday, where he was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery charges in the death of 17-year-old Marcus Sain, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney.

A second person was seriously injured in the shooting, which police say occurred during a drug deal.

Another suspect, 22-year-old Malcolm Ganther, was charged in May with first-degree murder and aggravated battery.

Prosecutors say the two victims were in Ganther’s vehicle when a disturbance broke out. Saunders is accused of getting out of the vehicle and firing several shots at the victims.
