SEDGWICK COUNTY —A Kansas man convicted of a drug deal killing is going to prison.
On Friday, Tobias Love, 21, Wichita, was sentenced to 109 months in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. July 1, police were dispatched to report of a shooting in the 900 block of North Glendale in Wichita, according to Officer Juan Rebolledo.
Officers arrived on the scene and located 17-year-old Jaron Reed unconscious and not breathing with several gunshot wounds to his upper body. Officers began providing life-saving efforts until EMS arrived. The teen was pronounced deceased at the scene.
While officers were processing the scene a 21-year-old male victim arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand. The 21-year-old victim had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The 21- year-old victim was treated by medical staff and dismissed from the hospital and transported to investigations for further questioning.
Detectives learned that Reed and Love met to conduct a drug transaction before multiple shots were fired. Detectives are still working to fully determine the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
In July, Love was charged with first-degree murder and one count of distribution of marijuana. He later accepted a plea deal for second-degree murder and distribution of marijuana.
