SEDGWICK COUNTY—A man accused in a deadly shooting will have to wait to learn his fate for murder.
The sentencing hearing for 41-year-old Tyree Jackson of Wichita was delayed and is now scheduled for February 21, according to the Sedwick County District Attorney's office.
Jackson was found guilty of first degree murder and criminal discharge of a firearm, according to the Sedgwick County District attorney's office.
In March, police were alerted to a shooting incident in the 2200 Block of N. Grove in Wichita, according to Police spokesperson Andrew Ford.
First responders discovered 20-year-old Jaden Wilson outside of a gold Buick, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body. Despite immediate medical attention, he was pronounced deceased at 5:46 p.m. by Sedgwick County Emergency Medical Services.
A witness in the vehicle at the time of the incident was able to provide officers with details that quickly led to the identification of the suspect.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the victim and the suspect were acquainted and involved in an ongoing dispute.
A short time after the shooting occurred, a 17-year-old suspect voluntarily surrendered to law enforcement at the Sedgwick County Jail and was later charged in Juvenile court, according to the district attorney's office.
