SEDGWICK COUNTY— A Kansas has been charged with premeditated first-degree murder after 25-year-old Ivy Unruh died from injuries she suffered in a shooting at an apartment complex.

Just after 8 a.m. April 17, police were dispatched to a reported shooting at 7272 E. 37th Street in Wichita, according to a media release. When officers arrived, they found Unruh near Building 5 with a gunshot wound to the upper body. Officers also recovered a firearm at the scene.

Unruh was taken to a local hospital in grave condition.

Joshua Orlando, 29, who was married to but separated from the victim, was taken into custody at the scene. He was transported to the Wichita Police Investigations Bureau for an interview and later booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery.

On Monday, Unruh died from her injuries.

Following her death, Orlando was rebooked Monday night. The case was presented for formal charges to the Sedgwick County District Attorney’s Office Tuesday morning and he was charged with premeditated first-degree murder and remains in custody.
