SEDGWICK COUNTY — Wichita police arrested 27-year-old Jordan Lee Jones following a shooting Sunday night that left a 25-year-old family member injured.
Just before 10p.m. Sept. 7, officers responded to a shooting in the 1200 block of N. Grove in Wichita, according to a media release. They found a 25-year-old man in a vehicle in a driveway with a gunshot wound to the midsection. The victim, who is related to the suspect, was taken to a local hospital in critical but stable condition.
Investigators learned that a domestic disturbance between the two family members escalated into a physical fight outside the home, leading to the shooting.
Community tips helped officers track Jones to residence in the 1600 block of S. Edgemoor in Wichita. He was taken into custody without incident and booked into jail facing charges of aggravated battery and criminal use of weapons. He remains jailed on bonds just over $100,000, according to online jail records.
Chief Joe Sullivan said the incident underscores the importance of community cooperation:
“The arrest is a clear example of how quickly we can bring a dangerous situation to a close when our community and officers work together. We are grateful for the tips that helped us locate the suspect and keep Wichita safe.”
