HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A man arrested in connection with the abduction and shooting in Reno and Sedgwick County on Monday made his first appearance in Reno County District Court Tuesday morning. The injured two-year-old had surgery and is recovering, according to the sheriff's department.

In a very short hearing, 22-year-old Kamden Campos answered two questions with one word answers and did not make any request for a reduction of his bond which is $2,101,500.

Campos is facing possible charges of four counts of attempted first degree murder, kidnapping and theft. Campos was arrested after allegedly abducting a woman and her daughter in Wichita. They drove out to Cheney Lake. When the woman tried to escape in a vehicle, Campos allegedly shot at the vehicle, hitting a 2-year-old.&nbsp;

The woman drove into Sedgwick County where she called 911. The child was taken to Wesley Medical Center where she remained in critical condition, according to the Sheriff's office.

District Attorney Tom Stanton said he hopes to have formal charges filed by no later than Monday. Campos is due back in court Tuesday, July 27 unless charges are brought against him before then.

2 Kansas women jailed after drugs found near children

KANSAS CITY – A Merriam Village, Missouri, man pleaded guilty in federal court July 14 to sexually assaulting two young children to produce child pornography, and to receiving and distributing child pornography, after his wife pleaded guilty to the same charges last month, according to the United State's Attorney.

Mark John Millman, 37, a citizen of Great Britain and a legal alien resident, pleaded guilty before U.S. Chief Magistrate Judge David P. Rush to one count of the sexual exploitation of minors and one count of receiving and distributing child pornography.

Millman’s wife and co-defendant, Tara Sau Millman, 41, pleaded guilty to the same charges on June 30, 2021. Both Mark and Tara Millman have been in federal custody since their arrest and remain detained without bail.

The Millmans admitted that Mark used Tara’s iPhone to record video of her performing a sexual act on a 2-year-old child, identified in court documents as John Doe. Mark Millman admitted that he sexually assaulted a 4-year-old child victim, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, which was also recorded on video. Investigators found images and videos of child pornography on the Millmans’ iPhones, including files that depicted the Millmans sexually assaulting both child victims.

Mark and Tara Millman each admitted they used a social media application to share child pornography over the internet, and that they viewed child pornography together.

The investigation began when agents with Homeland Security Investigations in San Diego, California, began investigating users of a cloud storage platform (identified in court documents as “Cloud Platform A”). The cloud platform provides encrypted, cloud-based services that enable private, secure online storage, communication, and collaboration for business and individuals. During the investigation, the agents accessed a weblink to an encrypted chat room with approximately 145 registered users. Files containing child pornography were uploaded/posted by participants in the chat room. Many users were actively involved in the distribution of child pornography. The child pornography distributed within the chat included 129 video files, 324 image files, and 43 cloud-storage weblinks which contained files of child pornography.

Mark Millman’s email was identified among the registered users of the chat room, and a search warrant was executed at the Millmans’ residence in Taney County, Mo., on Jan. 28, 2021.

Under federal statutes, Mark and Tara Millman each are subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of 50 years in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendants will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. Sentencing hearings will be scheduled upon the completion of presentence investigations by the United States Probation Office.

SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating after a child sex crime suspect took his own life following a standoff with police in Wichita.

Just after 11p.m. Thursday, a Sedgwick County deputy stopped a vehicle near Interstate 235 and Central after observing a traffic violation, according to Lt. Benjamin Blick.

 The deputy made contact with the driver identified as 43-year-old&nbsp;Ramiro A Rosete Jr.&nbsp; and discovered he had an outstanding warrant for Aggravated Indecent Liberties with a Child. 

When the deputy attempted to arrest the suspect for the outstanding warrant, he fled in his vehicle. The deputy pursued the Rosete for several minutes, but eventually lost sight of him near Seneca and Irving. The vehicle was later located, unoccupied, in an alley near Mead and Bayley.

Through their investigation, deputies learned Rosete had been staying at a motel in the 7300 block of east Kellogg. Deputies went to the motel and made contact with Rosete who had barricaded the door to his room. 

Rosete refused to come out of the room and informed deputies he had a handgun. After considering the current circumstances, the SWAT team was requested to assist.

SWAT negotiators assumed communications with the suspect, which they maintained for several hours. At approximately 8:25a.m., the suspect agreed to surrender. Shortly after this agreement, SWAT members heard one gunshot from the suspect’s room. SWAT members located Rosete in his room with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. SWAT medics provided treatment to the wounded suspect until he was transported by EMS to a local hospital.

Rosete died of his injuries at the hospital, according to Blick.&nbsp;

Police arrested two Salina men after a pursuit&nbsp; that began late Thursday night in north Salina.

At 11:30 p.m. Thursday, an officer observed a blue Oldsmobile Delta 88 that was westbound on W. Decatur Street in Salina. The driver failed to use his turn signal and instead turned on his flashers before turning south in the 600 block of N. Ninth Street, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

The officer attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled at a high rate of speed, leading the officer on a chase through parts of north Salina at speeds of 70 mph.

The pursuit eventually ended up on E. Iron Avenue, where the car turned into the parking lot at Quail Creek Apartments, 1515 E. Iron Avenue.

The driver, identified as Adrian Richardson, 29, of Salina, fled on foot. A witness told police that Richardson had gone into an apartment in the complex. Police located him in the apartment and he was taken into custody, Forrester said.

None of the four occupants of the apartment knew Richardson and he did not have permission to be there, Forrester added. None of the occupants was injured.

As another officer was pulling up on the scene, he noticed a passenger from the car fleeing on foot as well. The passenger was identified as Anthony Wonder, 33, of Salina. As the officer chased Wonder on foot, Wonder allegedly turned around and punched the officer in the head, Forrester said. Wonder eventually was taken into custody in the 1400 block of E. Iron Avenue. The officer was not seriously injured, Forrester said.
