WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities say a 19-year-old man has been arrested in a deadly Wichita shooting.
KAKE-TV (https://bit.ly/2hwOf5H ) reports that the suspect was booked into jail Wednesday morning on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of 23-year-old Charles Hawkins.

Prosecutors plan to present the case to prosecutors later this week. Hawkins’ death is Wichita’s 33rd homicide of 2016.
