On May 21, 2023, at approximately 12:30 am, Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the 3000 block of East 79th St. South for a shooting call. A 20-year-old male, Armando Garcia from Wichita, was found with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Deputies assisted with lifesaving efforts until Sedgwick County EMS arrived on the scene and took over life-saving efforts. Garcia was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced dead at 01:17 AM.
Sheriff’s Detectives investigated the incident and booked 21-year-old male, Isac Monjaras from Haysville, for one count of Involuntary Manslaughter.
Detectives do not believe this incident to be gang-related. Alcohol may have been a contributing factor.
This case will be presented to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office.
