SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement investigating another homicide in Wichita have made two arrests.
Just before 4p.m. Sunday, police responded to reports of a shooting and found 62-year-old Terry Collins in the front yard of his home with a gunshot wound to the chest. Neighbors immediately began life-saving efforts until officers arrived. Sedgwick County EMS transported Collins to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced deceased.
Investigators learned that Collins was involved in a confrontation with three people before a gun was fired. Witnesses reported seeing the suspects flee the area.
Officers deployed drones for aerial support, used a police K-9 team to track evidence and suspects, and relied on Flock camera technology to assist with locating the suspects. WPD’s Community Response Team and Community Policing Officers also responded to help with the investigation.
Detectives arrested a 20-year-old woman identified in booking records as Myna Renae Pitzer and and a 19-year-old man identified in booking records as Jahmarious Jalique Johnson in connection with the incident. A 14-year-old male suspect remains outstanding, and officers continue to search for him.
The community was instrumental in providing key information that helped officers and detectives move quickly to make arrests.
Pitzer and Johnson are being held on requested charges of first degree murder, according to online jail records.
