SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting and have released a description of the suspect.
Just before 1:30 a.m. Wednesday officers responded to a shooting call at the Frontier Motel, 1623 S. Broadway in Wichita, according to officer Charley Davidson.
Upon arrival, officers contacted a 51-year-old man who had a gunshot wound to his chest. He was transported to an area hospital for medical treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.
The investigation revealed the 51-year-old man and a 51-year-old woman were inside of one of the motel rooms, and a suspect began knocking on their door. The victim reported he did not know the suspect so he did not open the door.

The suspect then fled the scene in a dark colored SUV.
The suspect is described as an unknown Hispanic male, 5-foot-8, 240 pounds, wearing a blue t-shirt and shorts.
