SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a fatal shooting in Wichita and took a suspect into custody.

First responders found 36-year-old Jesus Aguilera from Wichita suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. EMS transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:35 p.m., according to Ford.

Detectives identified a suspect, a 39-year-old Hispanic man from Wichita,  identified as Rosendo Camacho-Garcia, according to Sedgwick County booking records and began searching for him.

On Sunday, officers received information that the Camacho-Garcia was at a residence in the 800 block of South Longfellow in Wichita. When police arrived, they discovered that Camacho-Garcia had barricaded himself inside the home.

The Wichita Police Department SWAT team was activated and engaged in negotiations in both English and Spanish for approximately seven hours. During the standoff, Camacho-Garcia fired multiple shots at SWAT officers.

Chemical munitions were eventually deployed, prompting Camacho-Garcia to exit the residence. He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during a K9 apprehension.

Camacho-Garcia is out of the hospital and faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and homicide.
