SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas woman accused in the fatal shooting of a man at a Kansas home pleaded guilty this week, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
A jury trial was scheduled to begin Tuesday for Amber Ahrens, 41, Wichita. On June 17, police responded to a disturbance with shots fired at a home in the 1200 block of North Pinecrest in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers located 53-year-old David Leddy of Wichita in the front of the residence with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.
The investigation revealed a disturbance ensued earlier in the day at the home between Leddy and a 19-year-old boy who did not live there.
During the disturbance, Leddy’s vehicle was damaged, and the 19-year-old was battered.
The 19-year-old’s 41-year-old mother identified as Ahrens and three friends, a 44-year-old female, a 54-year-old male, and a 31-year-old female, later arrived at the home. A disturbance then ensued in front of the house, and shots were fired that struck Leddy.
Ahrens is scheduled for sentencing on February 3, according to the district attorney's office.
