In the early evening of March 31, 2020, the life of 19-year-old Devin Dwight Dwigans, a White male, was tragically cut short in Wichita, Kansas. Officers were dispatched to the 3100 block of South Davidson around 5:25 p.m. following reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered Devin's body in a grassy area near some homes. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators quickly determined that the shooting was not a random act of
violence. Preliminary findings suggested that an argument had taken place shortly before the shooting, leading police to believe Devin knew his assailant. The incident marked the 15th homicide in Wichita for that year, contributing to what would become a record-breaking year for homicides in the city.
In the months that followed, the investigation into Devin's death continued. By early 2021, the Wichita Police Department announced a significant development in the case: a suspect had been identified, and a warrant was issued for their arrest. However, further details regarding the suspect's identity and whether they were ever taken into custody have not been publicly released. The case remains a painful memory for the community and another statistic in a year marked by a surge in violent crime.
