The incident stems from a shooting over the weekend, where two men, 26-year-old Tyler Wheeler and 22-year-old Victor Loza, were killed and a woman suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The initial report said that at around 7:10 p.m., on Saturday, officers were sent to Washington Boulevard near North 16th Street and Oakland Avenue on a reported shooting. When those officers arrived, they found the two men, both of Bonner Springs, Kansas, and a woman who had been shot.
“That’s traumatizing. I don’t like violence at all. Especially as a mother, I have a three-year-old. So it’s pretty hectic to see violence and homicides happening,” Maria Martinez, who lives in the area ,told FOX4 on Sunday.
