FINNEY COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating two suspects after an weekend altercation and shooting in Garden City.
Just after 3a.m. Saturday, police responded to report of a drive-by shooting in the area of 3rd Street and Labrador in Garden City, according to a media release.
Officers learned that 24-year-old Johnathan Reyes was southbound on 3rd Street when a vehicle in front of him was traveling slowly and refused to let Reyes pass.
While stopped at the intersection of North 3rd and Labrador, the occupants exited both vehicles and began a verbal altercation. During this argument, Reyes pulled a knife and allegedly stabbed 37-year-old Justin Cole.
As Reyes attempted to leave in his vehicle, Cole brandished a firearm, shot Reyes and drove from the scene, according to police.
Both vehicles later met on Labrador Boulevard and as the vehicle passed, Cole allegedly fired a second shot that hit Reyes' vehicle.
Police were unable to locate Cole after the incident. The Kansas Highway Patrol and Kearny County Sheriff's Deputies later located Cole and took him into custody.
He was booked into the Finney County jail on requested charges of attempted first-degree murder criminal discharge of a firearm and criminal damage.
Reyes was also later booked into the Finney County Jail on requested charges of aggravated battery and felony interference. Police are also looking for a third suspect believed involved.
