SEDGWICK COUNTY— A Kansas man has been sentenced for shooting his brother during a disturbance last year.
Phoukhong Khamvongsa, 63, Wichita, was sentenced to 12 years in prison, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In January he pled guilty to aggravated battery in the case.
On April 25, deputies were sent to a disturbance call involving a weapon in the 4500 block of south Meadowview in Wichita, according to Sheriff's Lt. Benjamin Blick.
When deputies arrived, they located a 55-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds in the backyard of a residence.
EMS transported the victim, later determined to be Khamvongsa's brother, to a local hospital for treatment of critical injuries.
Deputies arrested Khamvongsa at the residence and booked him into the Sedgwick County Detention Facility where he has been since.
